How to use this tool

  1. Add your files — drag them onto the page or choose them. They stay on your device.
  2. Set the start and end times in seconds — Trim to a range is already on (end zero means run to the file's end).
  3. Pick the Method: Instant copies the streams and snaps to the nearest keyframe; Frame accurate re-encodes and cuts exactly where you asked.
  4. Press “Trim videos” and download the results, individually or as one ZIP.

About this tool

Cut a clip down to the part you actually want. 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. Instant mode's cut points land on keyframes, which can be seconds apart on lightly compressed files — use Frame accurate for exact cuts.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between the accurate and instant methods?

Instant copies the streams without re-encoding, so it is nearly immediate and lossless, but it can only cut at a keyframe, which may be a second or two from where you asked. Accurate re-encodes and cuts exactly where you said.

Why did my instant trim start in the wrong place?

Because the nearest keyframe was earlier than your start point. Video only stores complete pictures every few seconds; everything between is described as changes. Use the accurate method when the exact frame matters.

Can I cut a section out of the middle?

This takes one continuous range. Removing a middle section means trimming twice and joining the results.

Does trimming lose quality?

Not with the instant method, which copies the original data untouched. The accurate method re-encodes, which costs a little.
