FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers about this free video cropping tool.

01 What video formats are supported?

MP4 (H.264 and HEVC), MOV (QuickTime), and WebM. These cover the vast majority of screen recordings, meeting recordings, and phone videos.

02 Is my video uploaded to a server?

No. This free video cropper runs entirely in your browser. Your video file never leaves your device, and nothing is uploaded to SOPX.

03 What is the maximum file size?

2 GB. For best performance, use Chrome or Edge which support hardware-accelerated video encoding.

04 Does cropping preserve the original audio?

Yes. The original audio track is passed through to the output file without re-encoding, so there is no audio quality loss.

05 What output format will I get?

In Chrome and Edge, you get an MP4 file. In other browsers, the tool falls back to WebM output.

06 Can I crop videos on my phone?

This tool is optimized for desktop browsers. Mobile browsers have limited support and may fall back to a slower processing mode.

07 How is this different from uploading to the SOPX app?

The free tools on this page work only in your browser and upload nothing. The SOPX app is a separate product. When you upload a recording or a PDF there, AI turns it into a step-by-step SOP, so that file is uploaded and stored on our servers. That storage is what lets a teammate open the procedure link and follow the steps on another device. Our privacy policy covers how uploaded content is handled.

Need to create SOPs from these videos?

SOPX turns any screen recording or process video into step-by-step standard operating procedures, automatically.
