Is this add border to video tool free?

Yes — no account, no watermark. Without an account you can process 3 videos a day up to 100MB each; a free account raises that to 20.

Does it reduce quality?

The video is re-encoded once at a high-quality setting (H.264, CRF 23), which is visually lossless at social-media sizes. Nothing is upscaled.

Do I need an account?

No. Upload, process and download without signing up. With a free account, video results are also saved to a Tools project in your dashboard.

What else can ShortsHero do?

ShortsHero turns long videos into short vertical clips with AI moment detection, face tracking and animated captions — and has free tools for subtitles, transcripts and video formats.
