Put a still into a film frame. Bars keep the whole photo and fill the gap with black, or any color you pick. Crop trims the edges so the picture itself becomes 2.39:1, 2.00:1, 1.85:1, 16:9, or 4:3. Move Position to slide the frame. Processing stays in your browser.

How to Use?

Upload a photo by drag and drop, click, or paste with Ctrl+V
Choose a ratio such as 2.39:1, 1.85:1, or 16:9
Pick Bars to keep the whole photo, or Crop to trim the edges
Move Position if you want the subject higher, lower, or to one side
Click Apply Frame, then download PNG, JPG, or WebP

Notes:

Bars expand the canvas so the original pixels stay intact. A frame longer than 8192 pixels on a side is scaled down
Crop keeps the largest target-ratio area inside the photo
Position 50 is centered. 0 sits at the start edge, 100 at the far edge
Bar color applies only in Bars mode
