Hi, I'm working in CapCut Web and I need to change the project size to custom dimensions (for example, specific width and height in pixels). In the web version I can only find aspect ratio options, but I can’t find where to enter custom dimensions. Is there a way to set custom project dimensions in CapCut Web, or is this feature not available on the platform?
Hi,
CapCut Web does not officially support directly entering arbitrary pixel-width × height custom project dimensions like some other video editors. Instead, CapCut relies on aspect-ratio presets.
You can change the aspect ratio of your project/canvas (for example: 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, etc.) via the “Canvas” or “Aspect Ratio / Ratio” option.
Once you choose an aspect ratio, you can position/scale your video or media within that canvas accordingly.
For images (in CapCut’s online photo-editing mode), there is a “Resize / Image size” feature which lets you manually enter width/height (for images, not video).
So if you are editing a photo (not a video), you can set custom width × height (in pixels or other units) on the web version of CapCut that works.
CapCut Web / Online does not support: Custom Video Canvas Dimensions
For video projects, CapCut’s step for changing canvas size references selecting among preset aspect ratios not entering arbitrary pixel dimensions.
Below tutorial shows changing aspect ratio via a “ratio/canvas/aspect ratio” button but they don’t show a field for numeric width × height.
CapCut only offers aspect-ratio presets, and you cannot pick a custom resolution.
Personalised canvas sizes is a feature only for desktop version of CapCut
As of now there is no way in CapCut Web to set a project canvas to arbitrary pixel width × height for video.
What you should do if you need custom pixel dimensions?
If you really need custom dimensions (for example, 1920×1080, or some specific width/height), here are a few potential workarounds:
Use CapCut’s desktop version (PC or Mac): In the desktop version you have more flexibility, including custom resolution/canvas.
Start with an external blank canvas/image (in an image-editing tool) of your required size and export that as a video/photo, then import into CapCut, and use it as the background. This essentially fakes a canvas of that size.
If precise sizing is crucial (for e.g. ad creation, overlays, graphics), consider using a dedicated video editing tool (other than CapCut) that allows custom canvas sizes from the start.
CapCut Web aims to make video editing simple and oriented toward social-media workflows hence its focus on aspect ratios rather than custom pixel dimensions.
The “custom width × height” option reserved for photo/image editing mode, not for video projects.
If you need pixel-perfect control for video (e.g. 1280×720, 1920×1080, or weird custom sizes), CapCut Web currently does not meet that requirement.
