How it works
- Choose a video from your phone or computer. It stays on your device.
- Play the preview and pause where the clip should begin, then press Set start to player time. Do the same for the end.
- You can also type the times, like 0:05 and 0:20.
- Press Trim video. When the cut lands within half a second of a clean cutting point, the video trimmer copies the clip with no quality loss. Otherwise it re-encodes the clip for an exact cut.
- Download the shorter video as an MP4.

Questions
How do I trim a video online without uploading it?
Pick the video on this page, set the start and end, and press Trim video. The cutting is done by your own browser, so the file never leaves your phone or computer.
Does trimming a video reduce its quality?
Often not at all. Video can be cut cleanly only at certain frames, called key frames. When your cut is within half a second of one, the clip is copied bit for bit. When it is not, the clip is re-encoded so the cut is exact, and a small amount of quality is lost.
Can I cut out the middle of a video?
Not in one go. This tool keeps one part, from the start time to the end time. To remove a middle section, trim the video twice to make the two parts you want to keep.
Will the trimmed video have a watermark?
No. Nothing is added to your video.
