How to trim a video

- Drag the two handles, or type exact start and end times such as 1:23.5.
- Use the nudge buttons to step the preview by 1 second or 0.1 second and find the right frame.
- Pick Fast cut or Exact cut, then press Trim video.
- Download the result.
Fast cut or exact cut?
| Fast cut | Exact cut | |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | Seconds | Slower, depends on length |
| Quality | Unchanged | Re-encoded, small loss |
| Start point | May start up to a second or two early, at the nearest keyframe | Exact to the frame |
| Format | Same as the original | MP4, WebM or same as original |
If a file cannot be copied directly, the tool switches to exact cut on its own and tells you.
Tips
- Use fast cut for long videos when a second of extra footage does not matter.
- Use exact cut when the start must be clean, for example for a social clip.
- Type times for precision, drag handles for speed.
Limits
The tool trims one continuous part. To remove a middle section, trim twice and join the parts in an editor. Exact cut on long, high-resolution video depends on your device and can run out of browser memory.
Privacy
Your video never leaves your device. The page loads the processing code once, then reads and writes the file inside your browser. There is no upload, no account and no watermark.
FAQ
Does trimming reduce quality?
Not with fast cut, because the video is copied as it is. Exact cut re-encodes, so there is a small loss.
Why does my fast cut start earlier than I chose?
Copying can only begin at a keyframe. Switch to exact cut for a frame-accurate start.
Can I trim audio too?
The sound is cut along with the video. For audio only, use Extract Audio from Video.
What formats work?
MP4, MOV, WebM and MKV that your browser can read.
Can I type the time?
Yes. Use seconds, mm:ss or hh:mm:ss, for example 1:23.5.
Is my video uploaded?
No. Everything runs in your browser.
