Good to know
No upload
The video is cut in your browser and never leaves your device.
Fast, lossless cuts
Fast mode copies the video as it is, so even long videos are cut in seconds with no quality loss.
Exact when you need it
Exact mode re-encodes the part you keep, so the file holds only that part and starts on your frame in every app.
Same format out
An MP4 stays MP4 and a WebM stays WebM. MOV and MKV files also keep their format.
Frequently asked questions
Is my video uploaded?
No. Trimming happens in your browser, and your video never leaves your device.
What's the difference between Fast and Exact?
Fast copies the video without re-encoding, which is quick and keeps the original quality. A copy has to begin on a key frame, so the file also holds the few seconds back to the previous key frame, marked to be skipped: browsers and most players start at your time, but a few apps and editors show those extra seconds. Exact re-encodes the clip, so the file holds only the part you chose, but it takes longer.
Can I cut out a part in the middle?
Not yet. This tool keeps one continuous part of the video, from the start time to the end time.
Why doesn't the preview play my video?
Some browsers can't play every format in the preview, for example MKV or H.265 files. You can still type the start and end times, and the trim usually works.
How do I make the clip smaller after trimming?
Use the Video Compressor on the trimmed clip and choose a target size such as 10 MB.
