Crop Video to Custom Dimensions Free — Exact Pixel Crop Online

Most video cropping tools only offer a handful of preset aspect ratios. When you need a specific pixel region — to match a client spec, remove an off-center watermark, or output a non-standard format — you need custom dimension controls. The browser-based video cropper lets you set exact X, Y, width, and height values with no software required.

When Custom Dimensions Are the Right Choice

Use custom pixel cropping when:

• A client specifies an exact output size not matching standard presets (e.g., 1280×720 from a 1920×1080 source, centered differently than normal)
• You need to remove a watermark or logo from a specific corner of the frame
• You're targeting a platform with unusual specs (digital signage, kiosk displays, LED walls)
• You want a 2.35:1 or 2.39:1 cinematic widescreen crop from a 16:9 source
• You need to isolate one panel from a multi-camera grid recording

How X, Y, Width, and Height Work

Video frames use a pixel coordinate system where the top-left corner is (0, 0):

• X — How many pixels from the left edge to start the crop
• Y — How many pixels from the top edge to start the crop
• Width — How wide the crop area should be
• Height — How tall the crop area should be

Example: Original is 1920×1080. You want to keep a 1280×720 region starting 320px from the left and 180px from the top:

X = 320, Y = 180, Width = 1280, Height = 720

This removes 320px from each side horizontally and 180px from each side vertically, resulting in a perfectly centered 1280×720 crop.

Common Custom Crop Values for Real Scenarios

Scenario	Source	X	Y	W	H
Remove 100px watermark — bottom-right	1920×1080	0	0	1820	980
Cinematic 2.35:1 from 16:9	1920×1080	0	135	1920	817
Left half of dual-camera grid	1920×1080	0	0	960	1080
Center zoom (remove 10% all sides)	1920×1080	192	108	1536	864

Adjust values to your actual source resolution and crop target.

How to Verify Your Crop Before Downloading

Before clicking Crop Video:

1. Check the preview frame to confirm the crop box covers the correct region
2. Verify no important content (text, subject, logo) is clipped at the edges of the crop box
3. Confirm the output dimensions match your target (e.g., if you need exactly 1280×720, set Width=1280 and Height=720)

If the result isn't quite right, adjust the X/Y values and crop again — there's no limit on how many times you can crop the same file.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I crop a video to exact pixel dimensions in my browser?

Yes. The browser video cropper lets you enter exact X, Y, width, and height values in pixels for surgical-precision cropping without any software.

What is the maximum crop area I can set?

You cannot exceed the source video's dimensions. For a 1920×1080 video, the maximum crop is X=0, Y=0, W=1920, H=1080 (no crop). Any value larger than the source is rejected.

Does custom cropping work on MOV and WebM files too?

Yes. The tool accepts MP4, MOV, WebM, AVI, and MKV. Custom dimensions work on all formats. Output is always MP4.
