# How do I change my video from 16:9 to 9:16?

Made your video in 16:9 and need a 9:16 version for Reels, TikTok, Shorts or a Spotify ad? You do not have to remake it. Duplicate your story, change the shape and export.

###### **Videos longer than 30 seconds?**


###### **1. Duplicate your story**
**Open My Stories, click the 3-dot menu on your story and select Duplicate Project. Your original stays safe.**

###### **2. Change the aspect ratio**
**Open the copy and change the aspect ratio from the top bar of the storyboard, e.g. 16:9 → 9:16.**

###### **3. Adjust each scene with Crop**
**Open Edit Video and use Crop in the preview panel to reposition each scene’s visual so the important part stays in the frame.**

###### **4. Keep only the scenes you need**

###### 🚨 Music videos:
Do not delete scenes. Each scene is matched to its part of your song, so deleting one breaks the music. Keep all scenes and export the full video.

You can instead;
1. Download your individual scene's media from the preview on the right.
2. Create a blank story
3. Upload only the wanted scenes
4. Export.

#### Videos up to 30 seconds?

###### Use the Reframe app:
1. Export your video, or download the shot you need (click the shot → download icon in its top right).
2. Open **Reframe**: <https://app.atlabs.ai/reframe>
3. Upload your clip and choose the new ratio. AI fills the extra space so nothing gets cropped out.

#### Which ratio do I need?
| Where it is going | Ratio |
| ---- | ---- |
| Reels, TikTok, Shorts, Spotify video ad | 9:16 |
| YouTube, Spotify horizontal ad | 16:9 |
| Instagram feed | 1:1 |

💡 **Tip:** Making a new video for a specific platform? Pick the right aspect ratio in Step 1 of the workflow before you generate. Check the platform’s current ad specs (length and size) before you export.
