Trim video

Keep only the part you need — set the start and end while watching, then save the clip in seconds without losing quality.

Your files never leave your device

MP4, MOV, WebM and most phone videos. Phones handle videos up to a few minutes best; use a computer for long or 4K videos.

Files stay in this browser tab. Close the page and they are gone.

How it works

  1. Add a video.
  2. Drag the handles or play the video and press “Set start here” / “Set end here”.
  3. Press Trim and download the clip.

Questions

Does trimming reduce quality?

Not in the default fast mode: the video is copied, not re-encoded, so it is instant and identical in quality. The cut can then only start at a key frame, usually up to 2 seconds earlier than chosen. Tick “Exact cut” to cut exactly (re-encoded, slower).

Can I remove the sound?

Yes, tick “Remove sound”.

Are my files uploaded anywhere?

No. The tool runs entirely in your browser, so your files never leave your device and nothing is kept after you close the page. You can check it yourself: once the page has loaded, turn on airplane mode — the tool keeps working.

Is it free? Is there a file limit?

Yes, it is free, with no sign-up and no watermark. There is no upload limit because nothing is uploaded; very large files are limited only by your device’s memory.
