Prepare your video in a tall format that works well for WhatsApp Status. The 9:16 preset creates a 1080×1920 pixel video, giving you a ready-made portrait size without manually entering the dimensions. It is useful when a landscape or differently sized recording needs to be adapted to a vertical phone screen.
Use the 1:1 preset to create a 1080×1080 pixel square video when a balanced, equal-width-and-height layout is more suitable for your sharing needs. This option is useful for videos that you do not want to place into a tall portrait frame. The square format gives the video the same width and height while keeping the resizing process simple.
Add your video using the method that is most convenient for you. You can click Upload File, drag and drop the video onto the tool, or use the available Google Drive or Dropbox option. This is useful when the video is already stored online or in a different location on your computer. Once the file is added, you can select the WhatsApp format you need without moving between different tools.
Check the video after selecting a new format with the Play option. Changing the dimensions can make a noticeable difference to how a video sits within the frame, especially when the source and output have different proportions. Previewing lets you inspect the result before exporting and helps you make sure the selected format is appropriate for the video.
Not every WhatsApp video needs to use the standard portrait or square dimensions. With the Custom option, you can enter your own width and height in pixels when you have a specific requirement. The tool calculates and displays the resulting aspect ratio from the dimensions you provide.
Resize your video from a web browser without needing to install a separate video-editing program just to change its dimensions. Upload the source file, select the required layout or enter custom dimensions, preview the result, and export the resized video from the same page. This keeps a simple resizing task in one place and makes it practical when you need to prepare a video quickly for WhatsApp sharing.
