Auto crop your clips from horizontal to vertical

ClipGPT automatically crops your 16:9 stream footage to 9:16 vertical format. It detects your facecam and gameplay to keep the important parts visible.

Auto Crop to Vertical

Horizontal footage doesn't grow your socials - vertical does

Stream footage is recorded in 16:9 horizontal, but TikTok, Reels, and Shorts require 9:16 vertical to fit the mobile screens where most viewers discover new content. That gap is where many streamers lose momentum: manually cropping every clip and repositioning facecams is a slow process. Auto crop handles this transition instantly, converting your horizontal stream into vertical video perfectly sized for all social platforms.

ClipGPT's AI detects where your facecam and gameplay sit in the frame, then builds a vertical layout that keeps both visible automatically. Choose from multiple presets like facecam on top with gameplay below, side-by-side, or full-screen gameplay in the Clip Editor. Every clip is exported at 1080p 60fps to ensure it looks professional and smooth on every device.

Since the majority of social media consumption happens on mobile phones, we ensure every clip is cropped correctly for the specific UI of each platform at the highest possible quality. Auto crop pairs naturally with the rest of the workflow: AI clipping finds your best moments, facecam detection locks your face in frame, and auto crop handles the conversion. You can always fine-tune the results in the Clip Editor if you want.

Export your highlights at 1080p 60fps and publish directly to TikTok, Reels, and Shorts. Add animated captions to maximize engagement before you go. The whole point is that you never have to touch a manual crop tool again: the AI knows exactly where the action is.
