Trimming a video is one of those everyday edits you reach for constantly. You might be cutting dead air off the start and end of a screen recording, where the first few seconds are you reaching for the record button and the last few are you reaching to stop it. You might be grabbing a single moment from a long demo to share on its own. Or you might be prepping a short, punchy clip for social, a doc, or a support reply. In each case you just want to keep one slice and drop the rest.

This tool does exactly that. You drop in a video, scrub the preview to find your in and out points, and set the start and end with the number fields or the sliders. The clip length updates live so you can see how long the result will be before you commit. The handy Set start to current and Set end to current buttons read the preview position, so you can find the moment by eye and mark it with one click.

Everything runs entirely inside your browser using an in-browser video engine. There is no upload, no server, no watermark, and no account — the file you drop in stays on your machine the whole time. That makes it safe for confidential demos, client work, unreleased footage, and anything you would rather not hand to a website.

Because the trim copies the video and audio streams instead of re-encoding them, it is fast and the quality is untouched — there is no fuzzy compression pass and no long render. One detail worth knowing: a stream copy can only cut on keyframes, so the actual cut lands on the nearest keyframe to your chosen start. The output is a standard MP4 that plays everywhere and imports cleanly into editors.

FAQ

Is this tool free?
Yes — completely free, with no sign-up, no watermark, and no limits. It runs in your browser.
Is my video uploaded anywhere?
No. Everything happens locally in your browser. The video is never sent to a server — it stays on your device the entire time.
Does trimming reduce the video quality?
No. The video and audio streams are copied as-is without re-encoding, so the picture and sound stay exactly the same quality as the original.
Why does the first run take a moment?
The first time you use it, your browser downloads the in-browser video engine (about 30 MB) once. After that it is cached, so later runs start instantly.
What formats does it support?
It accepts MP4, MOV, WebM, and most common video formats. The trimmed clip is saved as a standard MP4 that plays everywhere and imports into editors.
