Free Video Trimmer

Cut a video down to the part you want. No re-encoding when possible, so quality stays untouched.

Drop a video here or click to choose files

Runs entirely on your device using your browser’s built-in video engine (WebCodecs). Needs a recent Chrome, Edge, Safari, or Firefox on desktop.

Drop a video, drag the start and end markers (or scrub to the right spot and click “Use current time”), and download just the part you want.

Whenever the format allows it, the trim is done by copying the original video data directly rather than re-encoding it, so there’s no quality loss and it finishes almost instantly. When that’s not possible for a particular file, it falls back to a normal re-encode automatically.

How to use it

  1. Drop your video.
  2. Set the start and end points.
  3. Download the trimmed clip.

Frequently asked questions

Does trimming reduce quality?

Usually no: whenever possible, the original video data is copied as-is rather than re-encoded, so there’s no generation loss. If your file’s format can’t be copied directly, it’s re-encoded automatically at a high quality instead.

Why does the cut sometimes start a fraction of a second early or late?

When copying data directly (the fast, lossless path), the cut can only happen at existing keyframes, which are usually a second or two apart. If you need a frame-exact cut, use the compress tool instead, which always re-encodes.

Is there a length limit?

No limit imposed by us — it depends on your device’s memory, since everything happens locally.

Is my video uploaded anywhere?

No. Trimming happens entirely in your browser using its built-in video engine (WebCodecs); the file never leaves your device.
