What should you do?
YouTube’s official help says Shorts can be square or vertical and up to three minutes long. Use Social Rocket AI’s Video Reframer to prepare a vertical version with crop, fit, pad, or resize, then review the connected YouTube publishing workflow.
Written by Social Rocket AI. Platform requirements can change; use the official sources below for current rules.
A workflow you can follow
- Select YouTube as the destination and choose a vertical or square output that suits the clip.
- Crop when the subject can tolerate edge loss and you want a filled frame.
- Fit or pad when the complete source frame must stay visible.
- Keep the duration and rights requirements in mind, then review and schedule or publish through the connected YouTube workflow.
What this guide does not promise
YouTube classification and copyright treatment depend on the upload and channel context. The reframer changes framing and dimensions; it does not enhance resolution or remove copyright restrictions.
