Is my video uploaded to a server?

No. Your browser plays and re-records the selected section locally. The file never leaves your device.

Why does trimming take as long as the clip?

The section is played through once while it is re-recorded, so a thirty-second cut takes about thirty seconds. Browsers throttle background tabs, so keep this one visible.

Will I get an MP4 back?

Where your browser can record MP4 you get MP4; otherwise you get WebM, which plays in every modern browser, on Android and in VLC.

Is the trim lossless?

No — the clip is re-encoded, so there is some quality loss. At the High setting it is very hard to see. Keep your original until you've checked the result.

Can I cut a piece out of the middle and join the ends?

Not yet — this tool keeps one continuous section. Trim twice if you need two pieces.

Is there a file size limit?

No fixed limit, but 4K and very long files are memory-hungry, especially on phones. Stick to a few minutes on mobile.

About this tool

What is Video Trimmer?

The Video Trimmer cuts a video down to the part that matters. Set a start second and an end second, pick a quality level, choose whether to keep the sound, and download the clip — no account, no watermark and no upload.

Trimming is the most common video edit there is: chopping dead air off the front of a screen recording, isolating the ten seconds worth sending, or cutting a long lecture into a quotable moment. Doing it in a browser tab avoids installing an editor for a thirty-second job.

Because the trim runs on your device, the footage stays with you. That matters for recordings that show customer data, medical information, unreleased work or family life — the kind of clip you would rather not hand to an anonymous upload form.

Use cases & scenarios

Where it fits

Cutting the start of a screen recording

Remove the fumbling before you started talking, without opening an editor.

Pulling a quotable moment

Isolate the fifteen seconds from a talk or stream that you actually want to share.

Getting under an upload limit

A shorter clip is a smaller file — often enough on its own to satisfy a form's size cap.

Preparing a clip for a GIF

Trim first, then run the result through the Video to GIF converter for a tight loop.
