How to trim a video in 4 steps
- Open your video. Click Open the video trimmer and drop in your file. It loads straight from your device — nothing is uploaded.
- Set the start and end. Select the clip and drag the Start and End trim sliders in the Clip tab. The preview jumps to each point so you can see exactly where you are.
- Cut out the middle (optional). Move the playhead to where an unwanted section begins and press Split (or the S key), split again where it ends, then delete the piece in between.
- Export. Press Export video to save an MP4 (or WebM in some browsers) with no watermark.

Tips for a tighter trim
- Start where the action starts. Most clips begin with a second or two of setup you don't need.
- End just after the point lands. Lingering endings make videos feel longer than they are.
- Remove pauses in talking videos by splitting around them — it's the quickest way to make speech feel sharper.
- Never cut mid-word. Cut in the silence just before or after.
Trimming is non-destructive: your original file isn't changed, and you can extend a trimmed clip again at any time before exporting.
Frequently asked questions
Is this video trimmer really free?
Yes. There's no sign-up, no trial and no watermark on the trimmed video.
Will my video be uploaded?
No. Trimming and exporting happen inside your browser on your own device, so your video stays private.
Which video formats can I trim?
Any format your browser can play — typically MP4 (H.264), WebM and MOV files from most phones. The trimmed video exports as MP4 in Chrome, Edge and Safari, or WebM in other browsers.
Does trimming reduce quality?
The editor re-encodes your video when exporting, currently at 720p on the shorter side (for example 1280 × 720), which suits social media and messaging. It is not a lossless cut of the original file.
How do I remove a part in the middle of a video?
Split the clip at the start and end of the part you don't want, select the middle piece and delete it. The remaining pieces join automatically.
