Size for me guide: Galaxy Lock Screens, Shorts and Reels

A video needs a different frame depending on where it will be used. Size for me starts with your destination, then handles framing, range selection and export locally in your browser.

Start with where the video will be used

Choose either a Galaxy live Lock Screen or a vertical social video. Selecting a device or platform prepares the appropriate aspect ratio and output size.

Your file is not uploaded. Loading, previewing and conversion run in the browser on your current device.

02

Create a Galaxy live Lock Screen

A Galaxy Z Fold has different cover- and main-screen shapes. Choose each screen separately to create a video that fits the way you use the phone.

  • Start quickly with Galaxy Z Fold8 as the default
  • Cover and main screens for Fold8 Ultra, Fold7 and Fold6
  • Galaxy S model-specific sizes
  • Custom dimensions for newly released models
  • Up to 15 seconds as a silent MP4
03

Prepare vertical video for Shorts and Reels

Turn landscape footage into a 9:16 video for YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels or both. A platform UI guide helps you keep faces and text clear of interface controls.

  • Fill: crop in closely around the subject
  • Fit: keep the full frame with black space
  • Blurred background: preserve the frame while extending the background
  • 1080×1920 MP4 with audio preserved
04

Frame first, then choose the range

Use drag and zoom in the framing step. In the next step, use one timeline to move to the scene you want and set the start and end.

Review resolution, duration, audio and processing mode before creating the final file.

05

Apply the result to your Galaxy Lock Screen

Once the video is ready, follow these steps. Menu wording can vary slightly by software version.

  1. Open the Settings app on your phone.
  2. Choose Wallpaper and style.
  3. Tap Change wallpapers to choose a new wallpaper.
  4. Select Videos from the list.
  5. Find and select the video you made with Size for me in Gallery.
  6. Check the preview, then tap Done to apply it to your Lock Screen.
06

If conversion feels slow

  • The first conversion can take longer while the local engine loads.
  • Mobile limits are lower than desktop limits to protect memory and heat.
  • For long or 4K sources, select a shorter range first.
  • Blurred backgrounds need more processing than a normal crop.
  • Keeping the browser tab open and closing unused apps can improve stability.
07

Your original stays on your device

Only My Kit does not upload your video. The result also stays in the current browser until you save or share it, making the workflow useful for personal and unpublished footage.

08

An observed processing example

During development, we created a 15-second Galaxy Z Fold8 cover-screen clip from a 31.3 MB, 1280×720, 3:01.5 source. The same job took about 5 seconds on a desktop and about 40 seconds on a mobile device.

  • This is an observed example from specific test devices and is not a performance guarantee.
  • Source codec, resolution, output mode, browser, temperature and available memory change processing time.
  • Selecting a short range first and closing unused apps and tabs can improve mobile stability.
