Turn horizontal streams into vertical video
Streams are wide, phones are tall. Instacut reframes each clip to 9:16 with the face cam and the action placed where they read best on a phone screen.

How it works
- 1
Paste a link or upload
A Twitch, Kick or YouTube VOD, or a video file from your phone or computer.
- 2
Choose a layout
Streamer, Podcast or talk, or Gameplay. Each one frames the 16:9 picture differently.
- 3
Check and export
Preview the clip in the same 9:16 frame you will post. Switch layout if it looks off, then export a 1080x1920 MP4.
Layouts
A plain center crop cuts off the face cam or the game. The layouts split the frame instead:
- Streamer clip: face cam stacked on top, gameplay or screen below
- Podcast or talk: follows the speaker and keeps them centered
- Gameplay: full screen game with a small face cam
Made on a phone
The editor is built for a phone first. The preview is the same 9:16 frame you will post, and everything is a tap or a short typed instruction, so you can clip from the couch.
Questions
What resolution is the export?
1080x1920, the standard vertical size for TikTok, YouTube Shorts and Instagram Reels.
Can I upload a file instead of a link?
Yes. Tap Upload a video under the paste box.
What if the face cam is in a corner?
Pick the Streamer layout. It finds the face cam and places it on top of the clip. If a clip looks off, try the Gameplay layout instead.
Is it free?
Yes. The free plan gives you 3 clips a month with a small watermark and 1 full stream scan. No card needed. Paid plans remove the watermark.
