Resize a video directly from a URL
Append ?url= to this page's address with your video URL and the resizer opens it automatically. The video is fetched server-side — no CORS restrictions, no manual upload.
How to use this page
Single video
Append ?url= with the full video URL to load and resize it instantly. Resizing is a per-video decision, so this page accepts one URL at a time.

Server-side fetch · No CORS restrictions · Nothing stored on our servers
Why use the by-URL entry point?
Skip the upload step
When your video is already hosted online, pass the URL directly. No need to download it locally just to upload it again.
No CORS restrictions
The server fetches the video on your behalf, so browser CORS policies never get in the way.
Shareable and linkable
The URL contains everything needed to open the video in the resizer — share the link with a teammate and they see the same video instantly.
Fits into automated workflows
Build the URL programmatically and embed it in a script, webhook, or CMS integration to resize videos without manual intervention.
Same resizer, different entry point
Once loaded, you get the full resize experience — height-based presets, custom width/height, aspect-ratio lock, watermark-free MP4 output — exactly as if you'd uploaded the file manually.
Nothing stored on our servers
The video is fetched and forwarded to your browser in one pass. We never write it to disk or retain it after the request.
Build the URL
Start with /video/resize-video/by-url and append ?url= followed by the video's address.
The video loads automatically
The page fetches the video server-side and opens the resizer with it pre-loaded — no upload dialog.
Resize and download
Pick a preset or set custom dimensions, hit Resize video, and download the resized MP4.
- Videos are never stored — fetched and forwarded in a single request.
