How to Crop a Video on Android

Cropping a video on Android can be done using various video editing apps available on the Google Play Store. Here, I’ll provide a general guide on how to crop a video using one such app, “Google Photos.” If you prefer to use a different video editing app, the basic steps are likely to be similar:

Using Google Photos to Crop a Video:

Install Google Photos (if not already installed):

• If you don’t have Google Photos on your Android device, you can download and install it from the Google Play Store.

Open Google Photos:

• Launch the Google Photos app on your Android device.

Select the Video to Crop:

• Locate and select the video you want to crop from your Google Photos library.

Edit the Video:

• Tap on the video to open it.

Tap on the Edit Button:

• Look for an “Edit” button, usually represented by a pencil or edit icon.

Access the Crop Tool:

• In the editing options, look for a “Crop” or “Crop video” option. This may be represented by a square or crop icon.

Crop the Video:

• Use the handles or adjustment options provided to select the portion of the video you want to keep. You can resize and reposition the cropping frame as needed.

Apply the Crop:

• Once you have selected the desired cropping area, tap “Apply” or “Done” to apply the crop.

Save the Cropped Video:

• After applying the crop, you’ll typically have the option to save the cropped video as a new file or overwrite the original. Choose your preferred option.

1. Wait for Processing:
   • The app may need some time to process and save the cropped video, especially if the video is long or in high resolution.
2. Access the Cropped Video:
   • Once the processing is complete, you can find and access the cropped video in your Google Photos library.

The exact steps and available features may vary slightly depending on the version of Google Photos and your Android device. If you prefer more advanced video editing capabilities or need specific cropping dimensions, you may want to explore other video editing apps available on the Google Play Store, such as Adobe Premiere Rush, InShot, or Kinemaster, which offer more extensive video editing options, including precise cropping tools.
