Free online video trimmer: trim a video without uploading it

Yes, completely. There is no account, no watermark, no trial period, and no limit on how many videos you trim or how long they are. It is free because the work happens in your browser rather than on our servers, so trimming costs us nothing.

No. The file is opened locally by your browser and the trimmed MP4 is assembled on your device using WebCodecs. Nothing is transmitted, stored, or logged, so there is nothing to delete afterwards. You can even switch off your Wi-Fi after the page has loaded and the trimmer keeps working.

There is no limit set by us. Because everything runs in your browser, the practical ceiling is your device's memory: multi-gigabyte files work on most laptops, and the trimmed file is assembled in memory before it downloads. Lossless mode is the lighter option for very large sources.

Precise decodes and re-encodes the kept section with your browser's hardware video encoder, so the cut lands on the exact frame you chose. Lossless copies the original compressed video data without re-encoding. It is instant and bit-exact, but a cut can only start on a keyframe, so the clip may begin and end up to a few seconds outside your handles depending on how the source was encoded.

In Lossless mode, none: the video and audio data are copied byte for byte. In Precise mode the kept section is re-encoded once at a high bitrate using your browser's hardware encoder, which is visually indistinguishable from the original for typical phone, camera, and screen-recording footage.

MP4, MOV, WebM, and MKV files containing H.264, HEVC/H.265, VP9, or AV1 video, which covers anything your browser can play. Precise trims download as an H.264 MP4 so they play everywhere; Lossless trims keep the original codec inside an MP4 container.

Yes. The trimmer works in Safari on iOS and Chrome on Android, including drag handles sized for touch. Precise mode needs WebCodecs, which recent iOS and Android browsers support; on an older browser the tool automatically uses Lossless mode instead.

This tool makes one cut: a start and an end. To remove sections from the middle, delete silences and filler words, or cut by deleting words from a transcript, open the same clip in the captionrich editor. It runs in the browser too and the Free plan includes 3 videos a month with no watermark.

Yes. Precise mode trims the audio to the same sample as the video cut. Lossless mode starts the audio at the same keyframe the video starts on, so the two stay aligned throughout the clip.
