Trim Video

Media & Video Studio

Cut a clip to an exact range with in-browser FFmpeg. No uploads.

What is Trim Video?

Trim Video lets you cut a clip down to exactly the part you need, right in your browser. Mark a start and end point on the timeline, preview the selection, and download the trimmed clip. Because the editing runs locally with in-browser FFmpeg (WebAssembly), your footage is never uploaded — it never leaves your device.

How to use Trim Video

  1. Add your video

    Drag a file onto the drop zone or click to browse. MP4, MOV, and WebM work best. The in-browser video engine loads automatically in the background.

  2. Set the range

    Drag the two handles on the slider — or type exact timestamps — to mark where the clip should start and end. The live preview shows your current selection.

  3. Pick a trim mode

    Choose Fast copy for an instant, lossless cut, or Precise re-encode for a frame-exact trim that outputs MP4 (H.264).

  4. Trim and download

    Click Trim video, then download the finished clip. Everything is processed on your device, so nothing is uploaded.
