Captions & reframe · Vertical reframe
Reframe horizontal video to 9:16
Widescreen footage does not fit a phone screen. Posted as-is it turns into a letterboxed strip with black bars, and a naive crop to 9:16 slices most of the picture away.
Shortie reframes every clip to a true 1080x1920 vertical frame for you. Your footage is scaled to fit and centered, with a blurred, enlarged copy of the same frame filling the space above and below. Nothing is stretched, nothing is squashed, and the clip fills the whole screen. Combined with best-moment detection and burned-in burned-in captions, a repurposed clip reads as made for vertical.

What you get
A full batch of vertical shorts, on demand
True 1080x1920 output
Every clip is rendered as a real vertical frame, not a letterboxed widescreen file that a phone shows with bars.
Blurred fill, nothing stretched
The space above and below your footage is filled with a blurred copy of the same frame, so the aspect ratio is never distorted.
Captions burned in
Speech-timed captions are rendered into the pixels in the lower third, sized for the vertical frame and clear of the platform UI.
