Cut the start, the end or the middle
- Keep selected: everything before and after the selection is cut away.
- Remove selected: the part is cut out and the rest is joined together.
- Need an exact point? Type a time like 1:23.4 in Start or End.

How it works

- Drag the edgesMark the part on the timeline, or type exact start and end times.
- Save the videoKeep the selection or remove it, then press Save video.
How to trim a video
Drag the two edges over the strip of frames and play the selection to check it. Then decide what the selection is: the part to keep, or the part to cut out. The page shows how much will be left, for example “42.0 s left after trimming”.
Trim video without losing quality
By default the video is cut without being re-saved. The picture and sound stay exactly as they were, and saving takes seconds rather than minutes. The cut can only land on certain frames, called keyframes, so the start may move a fraction of a second earlier.
When you need frame-exact cuts
Turn on Super precise cutting in the settings next to Save. The cut lands exactly where you put it. The picture is re-saved for that, so it takes longer, most of all on a phone.
Why people cut video
Most trims remove what got in by accident: the first seconds while the camera was being aimed, and the end where a hand reaches for the button. A shorter clip also travels better. Cut a one-hour call down to the two minutes that matter, and it fits in a message or an email.
Formats and limits
- Opens MP4, MOV, M4V, WebM and MKV: what phones, cameras and screen recorders make.
- Saves in the same format as the original, or as MP4, MOV or WebM.
- We set no length or size cap. A long 4K video only needs enough free memory, and a computer has more than a phone.
- No watermark is added to the result.
- One part per save. To cut out two places, save once and trim the result again.

Questions
Drag the edges over the part you don’t want, choose Remove selected and save. The pieces before and after it are joined into one video.
Without re-saving, the cut lands on the nearest keyframe, always a little earlier, so nothing you kept is lost. Turn on Super precise cutting to cut exactly.
The same as the original by default. You can pick MP4, MOV or WebM in the Format menu next to Save. MP4 is the safest choice for sending.
Yes. Without re-saving, the size shrinks in step with the length: half the video is about half the file.
Pause where the part should begin and press Start here, then do the same with End here. On a keyboard, I and O do it, and Space plays and pauses.
Open this page in Safari or Chrome, choose the clip from Photos or Files and drag the edges with a finger. Hold your finger still for a moment and the edge moves slowly, for a fine adjustment.
Yes. Open the page in Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari and pick the file. There is nothing to install and no account to make, and the clip never leaves your computer.
It has to decode and re-save the picture, and not every browser can do that for every file, an iPhone HEVC video for example. A plain trim still works, because it leaves the picture untouched.
