Create portrait video for YouTube Shorts
Select one video such as MP4, MOV or WebM up to 500 MB, trim the segment you want to 3 minutes or less, and create a portrait 9:16 MP4 for YouTube Shorts. Adjust the crop position or keep the whole image with margins, and save at 1080×1920 or 720×1280 and 30 fps. 3 minutes is Toollet’s creation limit; check the destination’s requirements separately. The main video is saved. If audio is present, the selected audio track is saved too; subtitle tracks and attachments are not included.
