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. There's no format to choose — the clip keeps the same container as your source.
03
Preview & download

No re-encode

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 and fast.
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.
Before you upload
Not sure which limit your video is breaking?
Platform limits depend on the upload method and account. Check the current official requirements before publishing; this checker does not enforce an unverified Instagram duration limit.
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 timeline
- Export to Markdown, PDF, or HTML
FAQ
Trim & cut video questions

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.
