How to Remove Black Bars from YouTube Videos
Richard Bennett
Mar 27, 2024• Proven solutions
The black bars appear because the video uploaded by the users may include horizontal black bars at the bottom and top of the video player to fit an aspect ratio of 4:3. The YouTube video player has an aspect ratio of 16:9, so it adds vertical black bars to fit according to the dimension. And in this guide, we will help you get rid of this trouble and remove annoying black bars from YouTube videos.
- Part 1: Removing the black bars before uploading
- Part 2: Removing the black bars from uploaded YouTube videos

Removing the black bars from uploaded YouTube videos
It is very simple to remove black bars from existing YouTube videos or while uploading a video. Click on the Edit button next to the video, and add the most suited instruction in the Tag bar below:
yt:crop=16:9
This tag zooms in on the video because of which the contents at the borders (black bars in this case) do not appear anymore.
yt:stretch=16:9
This tag stretches the video in the aspect ratio of 16:9. It is used to view the video in wide-screen format.
yt:stretch=4:3
if your video is appearing in wide-screen format, but you want it to display in 720 x 480 pixels, apply this tag. It scales down the video 4:3 aspect.
