How it works
Three steps from a long video to a short clip.
02
Pick a start & end
Type the start and end of the part you want to keep (up to 10 minutes). There's no format to choose — the clip keeps the same container as your source.
03
Preview & download
The clip is cut in your browser by stream copy — no re-encode, so it's near-instant. Play it on the page to check it, then download it to your device.
No re-encode
Lossless, keyframe-accurate cuts.
Stream copy, not a render. The trim copies the original video and audio packets straight into the clip without re-encoding, so the output is byte-for-byte the same quality as your source and finishes in well under a second for a typical multi-minute video.
Keyframe-accurate. Because it copies the original frames, the start and end snap to the nearest keyframe and may land up to about a second from the exact times you picked, depending on the video. This is the trade-off that keeps the cut fast and lossless — frame-exact cutting would need a slower re-encode and is not done here.
Same format out. The clip keeps your source's container, so an MP4 stays an MP4, a WebM stays a WebM, and a MOV stays a MOV — no conversion, no quality drop.
Why use it
Private, fast, and free.
Nothing is uploaded — your video is processed entirely on your device, so it stays private.
Cut just the part you need by setting a start and end before you trim.
No account, no watermark, no install — it runs in the browser you already have open.
Need more than a clip?
Turn the video into notes and a transcript.
If you want the words, not just a shorter clip, Video to Notes can transcribe a video and write a summary, key points, and a timeline you can download. Just want the audio track? Extract audio from the video as MP3, M4A, or WAV. For YouTube links and longer videos, the Chrome extension does it right in your browser.
- Full transcript plus an AI summary
- Key points and a clickable timeline

FAQ
Trim & cut video questions
How do I trim or cut a video online?
Drop a video file onto the box on this page or choose one. Pick the start and end you want, then select Trim video. The clip is cut out of your video in your browser and offered as a download — you can preview it on the page first. There is no upload and no sign-up.
Is my video uploaded to a server?
No. The video stays on your device. It is read and the selected clip is cut entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded, and the trimmed clip is returned straight to you as a download.
Does trimming re-encode or lose quality?
No. The cut is a stream copy — it copies the original video and audio without re-encoding, so the clip is byte-for-byte the same quality as your source and the trim is near-instant. The output also keeps the source container, so an MP4 stays an MP4 and a WebM stays a WebM.
How do I trim an MP4 without losing quality?
Drop the MP4 here, set a start and end, and trim it. The cut is a stream copy with no re-encode, so the clip is byte-for-byte the same quality as the source MP4 and stays an MP4. Nothing is uploaded and it is near-instant.
Will the cut be exactly at the times I choose?
The cut is keyframe-accurate. Because it copies the original frames without re-encoding, the start and end snap to the nearest keyframe and may land up to about a second from the exact times you picked, depending on the video. This keeps the trim fast and lossless; frame-exact cutting would require a slower re-encode and is not done here.
Which video formats are supported?
Common video files work — MP4, MOV, WebM, and MKV. The trimmed clip keeps the same format as the source. Each cut handles a range of up to 10 minutes from a file up to about 500 MB; for a longer video, cut it a range at a time.
Is it free and do I need to sign up?
It is free and there is no sign-up. Because everything runs in your browser, there is no usage limit on trimming videos.
