How it works

Use Short Video Resizer in three steps

  1. 1

    Choose a short browser-playable video.

  2. 2

    Select dimensions, fit mode, bitrate and whether to include audio.

  3. 3

    Start export and keep the tab open until the real-time recording finishes.

Why export takes the full video duration

The browser draws the video onto a resized canvas and records that canvas with MediaRecorder. Because it uses playback, a 30-second clip takes about 30 seconds to export.

This approach avoids uploading the video but is not a replacement for a desktop encoder when you need fast batch processing, frame-accurate cuts or MP4 output.

Browser and codec limitations

Current Chromium-based browsers provide the most reliable experience. Output is WebM because browsers do not consistently provide MP4 encoding through MediaRecorder. Source files must use a codec your browser can play.
