About trimming a video

This cuts a video down to a chosen range without uploading it. Where the format allows, it copies the encoded video straight through with the WebCodecs API — no re-encode, so the cut is near-instant and pixel-for-pixel lossless. When the source can't be copied (or you also strip the audio), it falls back to playing the selected part and re-recording it from a canvas, which works in every current browser but runs in real time and re-encodes.

The one caveat of the lossless path is that it can only begin on a keyframe, so the start snaps back to the nearest one — typically a fraction of a second earlier than you set. If you need the cut frame-exact, the real-time fallback (tick "also remove the audio", or use a source it can't copy) lands precisely where you put the handles.

The lossless cut keeps the source container (MP4 stays MP4, WebM stays WebM). The fallback produces MP4 where the browser can record it and WebM otherwise. Either way the clip never leaves your device.

Supported files

Accepts any video your browser can play (MP4, MOV, WebM…). Produces an MP4 or WebM clip.

Is my file uploaded?

No. The cut happens entirely in your browser (WebCodecs packet copy, or a MediaRecorder re-record) — nothing is sent to a server.

Common problems

The clip starts slightly before my start point
The lossless cut snaps to the nearest keyframe. It's usually well under a second; use the real-time fallback for a frame-exact start.
It's taking a long time
Your source fell back to the real-time path — the wait is roughly the length of the part you're keeping. Convert it to a standard MP4 first, or pick a shorter range.

Trim Video — frequently asked questions

Is my video uploaded?+

No. The cut happens entirely in your browser — nothing is sent anywhere.

Is the video re-encoded?+

Usually not. When the format allows, the tool copies the encoded video straight through, so the cut is near-instant and lossless. If the format can't be copied (or you tick 'also remove the audio') it falls back to re-recording the clip in real time, which does re-encode it.

Why did my clip start a bit before where I set it?+

A lossless cut can only start on a keyframe, so the start snaps back to the nearest one — usually a fraction of a second. The real-time fallback path cuts exactly where you set it.

What format do I get?+

The same container as the source for a lossless cut (MP4 or WebM); MP4 or WebM depending on your browser for the re-encode fallback.

Do you upload my files to a server?+

No — every tool here processes your files entirely on your device, and nothing is uploaded to a server. The only exception is the AI tools, which send the extracted text (not the file) to Claude to do their work.

Is there a file size limit?+

There's no artificial limit we impose, but since processing happens in your browser, very large files (500+ MB or 1,000+ pages) are limited by your device's memory rather than by us.
