Keep every part of the frame at its original scale while the shake is removed, and choose how the moving edges are filled. Free, in your browser, with nothing uploaded.

Stabilised on your device. Nothing is uploaded.
Every stabiliser crops a little by default, because cancelling the shake moves each frame and pulls its edges into view. To keep the whole picture, set Framing to Full frame: nothing is zoomed, the steadied picture moves inside the frame, and the small gaps it leaves at the edges are filled with a soft Blurred border or one of three other fills. This page opens with the Full frame preset, which does exactly that.
If a filled edge would show too much, Smart zoom is the middle way: it zooms in only on the stretches that need it and keeps the full frame elsewhere. Both are compared below, alongside the way Premiere Pro, CapCut and other apps deal with the same edges. For the wider question of what stabilising can fix, see fixing a shaky video.
Drop it on the box marked Drop a clip to steady without cropping, press Ctrl+O (⌘+O on a Mac), or on a phone tap Choose a clip to steady. It opens with the Full frame preset, so Framing is already set to Full frame.
Under Edges, pick Blurred (the default), Mirrored, Repeat edge or Black. Play a shaky stretch to see how each one looks on your clip.
In Full frame, the zoom slider becomes Max movement. Raise it for a steadier result with more filled edge, or lower it to show less fill and keep a little of the shake.
Set View to Split and drag the divider. If the edges catch your eye, set Framing to Smart zoom, which crops only where the shake needs it.
Press Export video (Ctrl+Enter or ⌘+Enter), check the settings and press Export video again. The export keeps the original frame size; Download it or Share it from your phone.
Imagine the shake moved the camera 5% of the frame to the left. To cancel it, that frame is moved 5% to the right, which leaves a strip 5% wide with no picture on the left-hand side. Hiding strips like that on every side takes a zoom of roughly 111%, and any rotation swings the corners in further still.
Zooming also costs a little sharpness. At 120%, every five pixels of the result are made from about four pixels of the original, so fine detail softens slightly. That is why the stronger presets, which allow more zoom, are kept for footage that really needs them, and why keeping the full frame is worth it for detailed, wide shots.
Framing has three settings. With the first two, the line under Zoom limit tells you how far the picture zooms in; Full frame has no zoom to report.
| Framing | What happens | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Crop to fit | One steady zoom for the whole clip, just enough to hide the edges, up to Zoom limit. | Most clips; the framing never changes |
| Smart zoom | Zooms in only where the shake needs it, easing in and out. | Clips with one rough stretch in an otherwise calm shot |
| Full frame | No zoom: the picture moves and the gaps are filled. | Wide, detailed shots, or footage you’ll reframe later |
The fill is only visible where the picture has moved away from the frame’s edge, usually a thin band during the worst of the shake. It is made from the current frame’s own edge, so it is never real picture, but the right choice makes it easy to miss.
optzoom=0 turns off the automatic zoom, with crop=black or the default crop=keep for the edges. See the FFmpeg guide.Because steadying moves each frame against the shake, which exposes an empty strip at the edge. Zooming in is the simplest way to hide it. The alternative is to keep the frame at full size and fill the strip, which is what Full frame does.
Yes. With Framing on Full frame, the picture isn’t enlarged at all, and the export keeps the original frame size unless you lower Size. The video is still encoded again, so choose High under Quality to keep the most detail; HDR and 10-bit clips are saved as standard 8-bit video.
Blurred on most clips, because the eye reads a soft edge as part of the picture. Mirrored suits natural textures such as grass and water; Black is best when you’ll crop in an editor afterwards.
It can be, if you let the picture move far enough. Max movement caps how far it may travel: a high value removes as much shake as Crop to fit would, with more fill showing, and a low value shows less fill but leaves some movement in.
Usually, yes. Crop to fit uses the zoom the worst moment needs for the entire clip, while Smart zoom zooms in only around the rough stretches and eases back out afterwards, so calm parts keep more of the frame.
Yes. Export with Black edges and crop or reframe the clip in your editor, choosing exactly how much to lose. Or switch to Smart zoom here, which avoids most of the fill and crops only where it must.
