Cropping a widescreen video to vertical keeps the middle of the shot: the table, the mic, someone's shoulder, while the person talking slips off the edge. Fitting the whole frame makes everyone tiny. What you need is a frame that moves with the conversation, and doing that by hand in an editor takes hours.

Upload a video up to 10 minutes: an interview, a podcast, a talk, a conversation on camera. ElevenLabs Scribe transcribes the speech and labels the speakers, then AI finds the faces in the shot and matches them to the voices. In Auto mode, whoever is speaking fills the frame, two people who talk over each other share a split screen, and wide shots and slides are shown whole over a blurred background. If the speaker's face is hidden behind a mic or a voice can't be matched to a person with confidence, the video is shown whole too, so nobody ends up cut off. You can also pick a mode yourself: always follow the speaker, two on screen, or the whole frame.

Captions are one switch away: five styles, with words appearing in time with the speech. You get a 1080×1920 MP4 with the original sound, ready for Reels, YouTube Shorts and TikTok.

The tool works on the web and in our mobile app. If processing fails, your credits come back. To pull several clips out of a long video, use the AI Clip Maker instead.

Horizontal to vertical FAQ

How is this better than a plain crop?+

A plain crop keeps the middle of the shot, and the speaker often ends up off the edge. Here AI finds the faces, works out who is talking and moves the frame with them, while wide shots stay whole.

What can I upload?+

A horizontal video up to 10 minutes and 2 GB, as MP4, MOV, MKV or WEBM. For longer recordings, the AI Clip Maker is a better fit: it picks the best moments for you.

What if several people are in the shot?+

In Auto mode the person speaking fills the frame, and when two people talk at once you see both in a split screen. If the speaker can't be identified with confidence, for example when a mic hides their face, the video is shown whole over a blurred background.

Can I skip the captions?+

Yes, turn them off with one switch, which also costs a little less. The original sound is kept as is.

How much does it cost?+

The price depends on the video length: 4 credits for a minute with captions, 3 without them, 15 for 5 minutes with captions. You see the price before you start, and if processing fails, the credits come back.
