What 4:5 is, and what it costs

Four by five is portrait without being full-screen. It is the tallest shape a feed will show without cropping it back, so it takes more of the screen than a square while still leaving room for the caption and the buttons underneath.

The crop from 16:9 is moderate: 1080 x 1350 keeps a 864-pixel column of a 1920-wide frame. Faces survive it comfortably; wide screen recordings do not.

It is the shape to pick when the video is a feed POST rather than a full-screen story. For full-screen, go to 9:16 instead, and for anything landing in a grid, square.

One practical warning: 4:5 and 9:16 look similar in a thumbnail and behave differently in a feed. A 9:16 post gets letterboxed or cropped back by anything that expects a post rather than a story, so if you are unsure which one the destination wants, 4:5 is the shape that survives both.

FAQ

crop to 4:5: questions

What is the difference between 4:5 and 9:16?

4:5 is a tall post; 9:16 is the whole screen. A 4:5 video leaves room for the caption and the buttons under it, which is why feeds prefer it and stories do not.

What size is a 4:5 video?

1080 x 1350, which is what this page sets.

Can I choose which part of the frame is kept?

Yes. The crop starts centred and you drag the video inside the new frame, so the subject ends up where you want it rather than wherever the middle happened to be.

Is cropping free?

Yes. Crop and preview for free, then create a free account to download.
