Trim Video

Cut a clip out of a longer video by setting a start and end point. The fast mode copies the video without re-encoding, so the trim is quick and lossless. Nothing is uploaded and there is no watermark.

Trim a video online by setting a start and end point and keeping only the part you want. The fast mode cuts a clip without re-encoding, so it is quick and lossless, and a frame-accurate mode gives an exact cut, so it works as a free video cutter to crop a video's length in the browser. Add an MP4, MOV or WebM and drag the sliders. Nothing is uploaded and there is no watermark.

Frequently asked questions

Is trimming lossless?
In the fast mode, yes. The video is copied rather than re-encoded, so there is no quality loss and the trim finishes quickly. The trade-off is that the cut lands on the nearest keyframe, so the start may be a fraction of a second off from where you set it.
What is the frame-accurate option for?
Turn it on when the cut has to begin at an exact moment, for example to land precisely on a word or an action. It re-encodes the clip so the start is exact, which takes a little longer than the fast copy.
Can I keep the middle and drop both ends?
Yes. The start and end you set define the section that is kept, so anything before the start and after the end is removed. To pull several pieces out of one video, trim it once for each piece.
