01 / How it works
How to trim a video online
Choose your recording
Open a local video file. It is read on your device, with no upload or waiting for a server.
Trim the start and end
Move the timeline handles past the unwanted opening and closing footage. Preview the range before saving.
Save the trimmed video
Export the kept section as a new file. The original recording remains unchanged.
02 / Sample video
See what stays in the frame
A sample clip with the same timeline used by the editor. The selected range becomes your new video; the original file stays intact.
How it worksIn lossless mode the start point snaps to the nearest keyframe, so the cut always begins on a clean frame.

03 / Video Trimmer
A cleaner video, from start to finish
Remove the waiting
Skip the countdown, camera setup, or silence before a presentation gets going.
End on the right moment
Trim away empty footage after the final sentence, the end of an event, or a completed demonstration.
Send a smaller file
Removing unwanted seconds usually reduces file size too, without changing the resolution in lossless mode.
Get straight to the good part
This video trimmer keeps one continuous section of your video and removes what comes before and after it. It is useful when the recording itself is right, but the beginning is slow or the ending runs on. You do not need a full editing project just to tighten those boundaries.
To trim video online, open your file and move the start and end handles. Preview the kept section, leaving a little room around speech so the first or last word is not cut off. Lossless mode preserves the existing compressed picture and sound; the actual start follows an earlier keyframe. Choose precise mode for files up to 2 GB when an exact boundary matters more than processing speed.
Trimming changes duration rather than compressing every frame. If you keep half of a recording, the resulting file will generally be smaller, though the exact size depends on how data is distributed through the video. This tool keeps a single range per export; to remove several sections from the middle and join the remaining parts, you will need a multi-clip editor.
Speed or an exact first frame?
Keep the original quality
Lossless mode copies the existing video and audio data. It starts at an earlier keyframe, so the first frame may be slightly before your selection.
Choose the exact moment
Precise mode re-encodes your selection for a more exact cut. It takes longer, needs a compatible browser, and is available for files up to 2 GB.
Frequently asked questions
Can I trim video online for free?
Yes. Files up to 2 GB can be trimmed and exported for free, with no account and no watermark. Files over 2 GB require sign-in and cost 1 point per minute of the full source video, rounded up.
Can I remove just the beginning or ending?
Yes. Move only the start handle to remove the beginning, or only the end handle to remove the ending. Move both to keep a section in the middle.
Will trimming overwrite my original video?
No. Export saves a separate file to your device. Your original recording stays intact, and you can return to it for another trim.
Can I remove several parts from the middle?
Each export keeps one continuous range. You can make separate clips with separate exports, but this tool does not join multiple ranges into one video.
Does trimming make the video file smaller?
Usually, because a shorter video contains less data. Lossless trimming preserves the original resolution and bitrate, so it reduces duration rather than compressing the remaining frames.
