Editing videos on Mac is a common task, especially for those who work with video content or need to share videos online. One of the editing methods used by many professionals, such as video editors, content creators, and social media managers, is resizing videos to meet specific requirements and optimize the content for various platforms.

Changing video’s aspect ratio can make them compatible with different devices or media players. For example, if the video is too large to play on a mobile device or a specific media player, resizing it can ensure smooth playback. There are other ways to use this editing technique, for example, creating a smaller video window within a larger frame or making a video collage with multiple resized videos.

Our tool provides the possibility to change the aspect ratio of a video on Mac fast and easily, all in a matter of a few minutes.
