Where will you publish it?
What should stay in frame?

We find the main face and use a stable crop around that position. If no clear face is found, choose Use the centre.

What you get

Simple tools, clear results, no unnecessary steps

Turn landscape video into vertical content

Reuse one recording as 9:16 short-form video, a 4:5 feed post, a square clip or a standard 16:9 video.

Keep a presenter visible

For a talking head, interview or webinar, the tool finds the main face and places a stable crop around that position.

A predictable option for other footage

Use centre crop for screen recordings, product demonstrations, gameplay or video with no clear face.

A finished, ready-to-use file

Download the complete converted file in the format you chose, with no preview-only result or watermark.

Nothing to install

Open the tool on a phone or computer and get started. No app or extension is required.

Free to use

Conversion is free with a signed-in Spira account. There is no per-file charge and no length ceiling hidden behind a paywall.

When should I use Auto Reframe?

Use it when the same subject needs to fit a different publishing format—for example, turning a landscape tutorial into a vertical Short or a 16:9 interview into a 4:5 feed clip. The tool crops the edges instead of stretching the video, so important content near the sides may be removed.

Choose what should stay in frame

Choose Keep the speaker in frame when one presenter remains in roughly the same area. Choose Use the centre for screen recordings and already-centred products. The crop is stable rather than dynamically animated, so footage with several people moving across the frame is better edited on a timeline.

FAQ

What does Auto Reframe do?

It changes a video's aspect ratio by cropping the frame around a presenter or the centre. It does not stretch the picture, add a blurred background or rewrite the video.

Which videos work best?

Talking-head videos, single-presenter tutorials, webinars, interviews with one main speaker, screen recordings and centred product demos work best.

Should I keep the speaker in frame or use the centre?

Keep the speaker in frame when one clear face is visible. Use the centre for screen recordings, products, gameplay or footage without a clear face.

Does it track a moving person throughout the video?

No. It samples the clip, finds a representative position for the main face and applies a stable crop. Use a timeline editor for several people or a subject that moves widely across the frame.

Which aspect ratio should I choose?

Use 9:16 for Reels, Shorts, TikTok and Stories; 4:5 for portrait feeds; 1:1 for square posts; and 16:9 for YouTube or standard widescreen video.

The conversion is the small end of it

Spira AI takes a script or a link and produces a finished short with voiceover, visuals and captions, then publishes it on a schedule. These tools are the bits you reach for along the way.
