How to use Trim Video
Cut a video down to the part you want, right in the browser. Untouched frames are copied without re-encoding, so quality stays the same and long clips finish quickly; only the frames around each cut are re-encoded so the cut lands exactly where you set it.

Frequently asked questions
Does trimming lower the video quality?
Almost nothing is re-encoded. Frames between the cuts are copied as they are; only the few frames around each cut point are encoded again.
How precise can the cut be?
Times can be entered to a hundredth of a second, and the arrow keys move a selected handle by 0.1 s (1 s with Shift). The cut is placed at the frame you choose, not at the nearest keyframe.
Can I remove a section from the middle?
This tool keeps one continuous range. To drop a middle part, trim the parts before and after it separately and join them with Merge Videos.
Is my video uploaded?
No. The video is read and written in your browser and never leaves your device.
Can I change the format while trimming?
Yes. Keep format saves in the original container; MP4, WEBM, MOV and MKV are also available.
Is there a file size limit?
There is no fixed limit, but the trimmed file is assembled in memory, so very large videos depend on how much RAM your device has.
