How to make a video for Instagram Reels, TikTok and Shorts

Short-form video lives in a 9:16 vertical frame with bold captions and a strong hook. You do not need a desktop editor to get there — these browser tools cover the whole workflow, on any device.

Reframe to vertical 9:16

Reels, TikTok and Shorts all use a tall 9:16 frame. Crop a landscape clip to vertical so it fills the screen instead of sitting in a small letterboxed strip.

Keep a landscape shot whole with a blurred background

If cropping would cut off something important, fit the full landscape frame onto a vertical canvas with a soft blurred background — a look you see all over Reels and TikTok.

Add captions so it works on mute

Most feeds autoplay without sound, so on-screen text is what stops the scroll. Generate captions automatically with on-device AI, or add a punchy title yourself.

Drop in a music track

A trending or background track sets the mood and improves retention. Add your own audio over the clip before you export.
