Trim / cut video

How your files are processed

Files are uploaded and processed on our servers, then made available for download.

Trim / cut video throws away everything outside the in and out handles you set on the scrubber.

You download one shorter video file for Slack gifs, LMS caps, or Instagram Stories.

FFmpeg workers — Trim / cut video uses demux, encode, and mux steps on our video stack—trim, merge, extract audio, burn subtitles, or strip tracks without a local NLE.
No editor install — Open a current browser on Windows, macOS, or Linux; the heavy timeline work runs remotely.
Pair with converters — Need MP4 from MOV first? Run a converter, then return here for mute, trim, or subtitles.

Upload — choose the file (or files, if the tool allows multiple) in the supported formats listed on this page.
Configure — set options such as trim ranges, subtitle files, or audio handling using the fields above.
Run and download — submit the job, wait for processing, then download your result before the automatic expiry window.

Trim / cut video suits webinar editors who only export chapter one—skip rendering the whole timeline in Premiere.

Scrub preview confirms frames before you queue the job.

Remove dead air at the start of screen recordings.
Isolate a highlight from a longer webinar export.
Match strict duration caps on ad platforms.
Drop results into Slack threads—the /tools/trim-video trim video flow matches Windows and macOS Chrome.

Quality follows source bitrate, GOP spacing, and whether the tool re-encodes or copies streams.

Each generation of H.264 or HEVC can add blocking—preview on the phone or TV your audience uses before deleting masters.

JSON formatters and regex testers stay local. They cannot demux H.264, merge MOV segments, or burn subtitles into frames.

Trim / cut video rewrites timeline bounds on our FFmpeg workers—fine for hour-long Zoom dumps when your laptop cannot seek smoothly.

Skip Trim / cut video for GIF-length trims you can eyeball locally. Use it when precise TC-in and TC-out matter for LMS or ad specs.

Upload fails or stalls: refresh the page, try another browser, or pause strict blockers for this site.
Extension mismatch: compare your filename with the types named on this page above the upload control.
Unexpected output: verify time ranges, pixel boxes, OCR languages, or watermark opacity, then rerun once.
Large file limitations: Trim / cut video jobs can exceed upload or processing limits; try a shorter clip first.
Playback issues: if a result will not play, try a more widely supported container/codec via a converter.

Depends on container and cut points; keyframe alignment may require re-encoding. Expect a new downloadable file either way.

MP4/H.264 generally behaves predictably. Exotic codecs may take longer or fail—convert first if you hit errors.

No—download outputs before automatic deletion.
