Frequently asked questions
What’s a square video?
A square video is a post where the width and height are the same. This format is ideal for platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok.
Square videos take up more screen space on mobile, increasing visibility. They also tend to have more interaction due to their balanced, eye-catching format. Plus, several platforms allow you to post square videos, so they're easy to use across your social media channels.
How do you crop a video into a square with Captions?
Captions makes it easy to create square videos in any format. You can adjust the aspect ratio to suit different platforms, ensuring your videos are perfectly optimized for Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and more. This flexibility saves you time and ensures your videos always look great, no matter where they're posted.
Simply upload your video in popular formats like MP4, MOV, AVI, or QuickTime, then resize it to a 1:1 aspect ratio for a perfect square format.
With the Square Video Maker, your videos are always formatted correctly for each platform’s requirements, ensuring your content looks great no matter where you post it.
What are a square video’s dimensions?
A square video has a 1:1 aspect ratio, meaning the width and height are the same. Most square videos are sized at 1080 x 1080 pixels, but you can adjust the dimensions depending on the site you're posting on.
It’s important to know the right dimensions for each platform. For instance, making a video square for Instagram is perfect for Feed posts and ads, but other platforms might have different requirements.
With Captions, you can easily customize your videos into square, vertical, or horizontal formats to fit different social media styles. This keeps your content consistent and professional across all your social channels.
Can you record videos in a square format?
Yes, you can record a video in square format. Some smartphone cameras let you change the aspect ratio to 1:1 (square) directly in the settings.
If your camera doesn't have this option, you can record in another format and crop the video into a square later with Captions. Or, if you film a video in a different aspect ratio, you can easily change the video’s frame size.
Some social media platforms will also adjust your video to a square shape when you upload it.
