I'm using FFmpeg and I'm aware that it is the fastest offline video and audio converter. Suddenly I've tried to convert portrait videos into landscape but upon checking its Outcome, it changes its aspect ratio and the video become chubby and that is what I don't like at all. I want to convert portrait videos into landscape video that maintains the aspect ratio and its orientation as portrait.

If I understand your question correctly I think that you need to pillarbox your video. It will upscale it and add vertical black bars (pillars).

ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vf "scale=1280:720:force_original_aspect_ratio=decrease,pad=1280:720:-1:-1:color=black" output.mp4
