Eliminate Black Bars on YouTube, Video Timelines & Hero Sections
DSLR sensors capture 3:2 images and smartphones shoot 4:3 stills. Dropping those raw stills onto a 16:9 video track or blog card either leaves black sidebars or unpredictably slices off subjects’ foreheads with CSS `object-fit: cover`.
Pre-cropping in PixelKit gives you complete creative control over vertical framing—and you can optionally cap output under 2 MB for YouTube Studio or export ultra-light WebP for websites.
