ReFormat - 16:9 to 9:16

Blur bars and stretched backgrounds look cheap

The usual 16:9-to-9:16 conversion either pads the top and bottom with a blurred copy of the video or crops your subject out of frame. Both read as low-effort the moment someone sees them.

AI fills the new frame instead

ReFormat outpaints the added area scene by scene, so the extra space is real, coherent picture that matches the shot - not padding. Your subject stays in frame and the result fills the screen edge to edge.

Scene-aware, end to end

The video is split into scenes, each is reformatted to the target canvas, and the results are stitched back into one clip. Upload, pick the target orientation, download.

How does this compare to Gemini Omni Flash?

Google's conversational video model is impressive, but asked to reframe existing footage it tends to crop rather than outpaint - and editing uploaded videos isn't available for EU users at all. See the full comparison.

FAQ

Does it work on moving footage?

Yes. It's video outpainting, not a still-image trick, so the generated area tracks the motion in the shot - camera pans, moving subjects, and action all carry into the filled region. Very fast or chaotic motion is the hardest case.

Which conversions are supported?

Landscape to portrait and portrait to landscape, plus other target canvases. The most common use is 16:9 to 9:16 for Shorts, Reels and TikTok.

How does it know what to outpaint?

It reads the visible footage as scene context and continues it outward, so the filled area matches the setting, lighting, and motion of the shot. You can optionally add a prompt to steer what appears in the new space.

What does it cost?

Credits are charged per scene based on its length, plus a small one-off pre-processing fee per upload. You see the exact quote for every scene after pre-processing. See the pricing page for the breakdown.

How do I convert a 16:9 video to 9:16?

Upload the landscape clip and pick the vertical target. ReFormat splits it into scenes, outpaints each one to 9:16, and stitches the result back together - your subject stays in frame and the added space is real picture, not padding.

How do I turn a horizontal video into a vertical one?

Same flow in either direction - horizontal to vertical or vertical to horizontal. The model generates the extra image above and below (or left and right) instead of cropping your footage or stretching a blurred copy behind it.

How do I format a video for YouTube Shorts, Reels or TikTok?

Those platforms want 9:16 vertical video that fills a phone screen. Convert your landscape footage with ReFormat and it fills the full mobile screen edge to edge - no blur bars, no cropped subjects.
