Browser-Based Video Scaling

Resize Video uses FFmpeg.wasm to scale the video locally to 1080p, 720p, 480p, or custom dimensions. This keeps private recordings, client clips, and drafts on your device instead of sending them to a media server.

Aspect Ratio Choices

The default setting preserves aspect ratio and pads custom dimensions when needed. That avoids stretched faces and distorted screen captures. If you intentionally need exact stretched dimensions, you can turn aspect-ratio preservation off.

Performance Expectations

Resizing is a full transcode, so every frame is decoded and encoded in the current browser tab. Short clips work best. Very long, 4K, or high-bitrate files can be slow or exceed browser memory.

FAQ

Does resizing a video send it to Convertful?

No. The video is decoded, scaled, and encoded inside your browser using FFmpeg.wasm. Convertful does not upload or store it.

Can I keep the original aspect ratio?

Yes. Keep aspect ratio is enabled by default. Custom width and height are padded as needed instead of stretching the picture.

Why does resizing take longer than muting?

Resizing requires transcoding every video frame. That is much heavier than removing an audio track, especially for long clips or high-resolution sources.

What output format is created?

The resized output is an MP4 with H.264 video and AAC audio unless you remove audio. This is chosen for broad playback compatibility.

What should I do if resizing fails?

Try a shorter file, a lower preset such as 480p, or a desktop browser with more available memory. Browser tabs have less memory than desktop video apps.
