How it works

Trimming runs locally in your browser using a WebAssembly build of FFmpeg. For compatible video files, the trim is performed without re-encoding, so the process is fast and there is no quality loss. Re-encoding is used when the source format requires it. No data is uploaded to any server.

Video Compressor

Reduce file size after trimming your clip.

Merge Videos

Combine trimmed clips into a single video.

Add Audio

Replace or overlay audio on your trimmed clip.
