What 9:16 means

9:16 is a frame 9 units wide and 16 tall, the shape of a phone held upright. Common sizes are 1080×1920 and 720×1280. Turning a 16:9 video into 9:16 means cropping it to roughly a third of its width, so the question is which third to keep. With AI face tracking on, the converter keeps the third with the speaker's face. With center crop, it keeps the middle.

YouTube Shorts: square or vertical, up to 3 minutes.
