Horizontal to vertical
Convert horizontal video to vertical with AI
An AI reframer recomposes a landscape clip as a tall cut and tracks the subject, not a blind crop. Made for Reels, TikTok and Shorts.
Pick your format
Slide the window. Choose the crop.
One wide frame, one tall window. See what a vertical cut keeps, then pick the ratio that fits where you post.
How it works
Convert a clip to vertical in three steps.
Drop in a wide clip, pick the frame, take the tall cut.
Drop in your horizontal clip
Add the 16:9 video you want to turn vertical. One clip per run, straight from your drive or camera roll.
Pick 9:16 and the framing
Choose 9:16, then say where the frame should follow the subject: the speaker, the product, the road ahead.
Download the vertical cut
Trim it and export for Reels, TikTok or YouTube Shorts. The exact cost of a render is shown before you start it.
Real prompts
Four ways to reframe horizontal footage.
›Dolly in toward a podcast host in a dark grey hoodie speaking energetically into a studio microphone on a boom arm, centred in frame with empty dark space above. Warm lamp light, acoustic foam panels, soft violet glow. No text, captions, letters or logos anywhere.
›A rising crane move over a dusty savanna: a white 4x4 truck drives steadily along a dirt track beside a lone flat-topped acacia tree, the camera climbing to reveal golden grass to the horizon. Late golden-hour sun, long shadows, warm ochre palette, photoreal, no text. 5-second 3:4 clip.
›Camera pans right smoothly, following a faceted glass perfume bottle sliding along a black glossy surface, its amber liquid glowing in the centre of frame. A soft rim light sweeps across the glass, dark background with violet reflections, macro lens, shallow depth, photoreal, no text or label. 5-second 3:4 clip.
›Handheld shot of a singer with short dark hair in a silver jacket performing at a small stage, face centred, swaying and singing into the mic while magenta and blue stage lights pulse behind. Blurred crowd silhouettes below, natural camera sway, night concert look, photoreal, no text. 5-second 3:4 clip.
Manual crop or Frameo
Cropping by hand versus an AI reframe.
A vertical cut needs the subject in frame, room for captions and a pass for every clip. Here is how the two routes differ.
| Compared | Manual crop in an editor | Frameo reframe |
|---|---|---|
| Tracking the subject | You keyframe the crop by hand, frame by frame. | Frameo follows the subject as the frame goes tall. |
| Captions in the safe area | You check each clip against the app overlays yourself. | The vertical frame leaves room for your captions. |
| Time per clip | A manual pass for every clip you post. | One prompt and one run per video. |
| Cost to try | An editor licence or subscription. | The exact cost of a render is shown before you start it. |
Horizontal to vertical video, answered
Frameo is an AI video production platform: it reframes a horizontal clip into a vertical one and keeps the subject in frame. A render has a cost, and the exact cost is shown before you start it. Credits pay for generation, not seats.
See plansStart from a 16:9 clip and reframe it to 9:16, 4:5 or 1:1. Pick the format that fits where you post.
Yes. Frameo follows the subject as the frame goes tall, rather than cropping the middle and hoping. You can say who or what to follow in your prompt.
Yes. 9:16 suits Reels, TikTok and YouTube Shorts. You retain ownership of what you make. The Terms of Use set out the full position.
