Step-by-Step Guide to Trimming Videos on Your Android Device

We typically think of cropping as a tool for photo editing , but it can be used on videos, too. Sometimes the original aspect ratio doesn’t fit what you want, especially when making screen recordings . Thankfully, it’s pretty easy to crop videos on Android.

There are a few different apps you can use to crop videos on Android. The two that will be best for most people are Google Photos and the stock Gallery app on Samsung Galaxy devices. We’ll cover both of them.

How to Crop Videos with Google Photos

Google Photos may already be installed on your Android device. If not, you can easily install it from the Google Play Store .

First, open the app and select the video you want to crop.

Select a video.

Tap the screen to bring up the controls and select the “Edit” icon.

Tap the edit button.

Switch over to the “Crop” tab in the bottom toolbar.

Select the "Crop" tab.

Now you have all the cropping tools you’d see for photos. Drag the corners to select the area you want to keep. You can also rotate and adjust the perspective of the video.
