Resize video for Instagram Reels
Select one landscape or square video such as MP4, MOV or WebM up to 500 MB and create a portrait 9:16 MP4 for Instagram Reels. Choose a segment of 3 minutes or less, keep the whole image with margins or crop to the part you want to show, and save at 1080×1920 or 720×1280 and 30 fps. 3 minutes is Toollet’s creation limit. The main video is saved. If audio is present, the selected audio track is saved too; subtitle tracks and attachments are not included.

Things to check when making portrait video
9:16 is this page’s output setting
