How to use this tool
- Add your files — drag them onto the page or choose them. They stay on your device.

- Press “Split videos” and download the results, individually or as one ZIP.
About this tool
Cut a long recording into equal parts, without re-encoding it. Free and unlimited, and nothing is uploaded: it all runs in your own browser. Everything is analysed and produced on your own device — nothing is uploaded anywhere, and you can verify it: the tools keep working even offline.
Privacy & limitations
Files over roughly 2 GB, or long 4K videos, can exhaust the browser's memory — everything runs on your machine, so your machine is the limit. Parts are cut on keyframes to stay fast and lossless, so lengths can vary by a few seconds around the target.

Frequently asked questions
Does splitting reduce quality?
No. The streams are copied rather than re-encoded, so every part is bit-for-bit the footage you started with. It is also why a two-hour recording splits in seconds.
Why are the parts not exactly the length I asked for?
Because each one has to begin on a keyframe. Video is stored as occasional complete frames with the differences between them in between, so a cut anywhere else would start a part with no picture to build on. The cuts land on the nearest keyframe, usually within a second or two of where you asked.
Can I get exact cuts?
Use Trim Video with the frame-accurate setting, which re-encodes and therefore can cut anywhere. That is slower and costs a generation of quality, which is the trade.
Do the parts play on their own?
Yes. Each one has its timestamps reset to zero, so players treat it as a file in its own right rather than a fragment that begins an hour in.
