How to Resize Video for Any Social Media: Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, YouTube (Online Resizer)

Hey everyone, this is Grace from Kapung, and I'm here to show you how to resize a video for any social media platform efficiently using a completely online tool. This method allows you to reuse content without creating a new video from scratch. Let's get started!

Step-by-Step Guide

Access the Resizer Tool
- Navigate to the first link in the video description to access the video resizer.
- You have two options: either upload your video or paste a link to it.
Upload or Paste Video Link
- Pasting a link is convenient if the video is already posted somewhere online.
- For this demo, we'll use a video from our channel and resize it for an Instagram story.
Select Output Size
- A variety of output sizes are available on the side.
- Popular platforms like Twitter can use multiple sizes (16x9, 1x1), whereas TikTok is limited to 9x16.
- Choose a size that fits your brand's needs.
Adjust Canvas and Dimensions
- If the video is resized disproportionately, you can lock the ratio to maintain the original dimensions.
- For example, changing a 16x9 video to a 1x1 canvas resizes it to a square.
Customize Video Appearance
- Change the background color and add text, images, emojis, audio, or other elements.
- You can also add a progress bar or an audio waveform for extra effects.
Export and Download
- Once satisfied with the customizations, click the red "Export Video" button.
- Download the video to your computer or share it directly on social media using the provided buttons.
Final Touches
- Add animations, shadows, and customize any elements you've added.
- Ensure the video fits within the platform's restraints for best quality.
