Trim Video

Free Online Video Trimmer

Trim and cut video files directly in your browser. Set precise start and end points with a visual preview. Free, private, no upload needed.

Upload your video and drag the left handle to set the starting point, then drag the right handle to mark the ending point. The visual timeline displays thumbnails so you can pinpoint exact frames without guessing. Click the play button to preview only the selected portion before committing. Adjust handles as needed for precise trimming down to the second. The tool extracts the chosen segment using browser-based media processing, leaving the original untouched. Download the trimmed clip when satisfied with the selection.

Content creators cut raw footage to remove long intros, outros, or mistakes before uploading to TikTok or YouTube Shorts. Parents trim lengthy kid videos down to the highlight moments worth sharing with family. Journalists extract specific sound bites or clips from longer interview recordings for news packages. Tutorial makers cut out pauses, restarts, or off-topic tangents to maintain pacing in instructional videos. Event videographers isolate specific speeches or performances from multi-hour ceremony recordings.

Leave a half-second buffer on each end of your desired clip to avoid cutting off the first or last word. Use the play preview repeatedly to confirm the trim points feel natural and don't interrupt mid-action. For social media, trim to under 60 seconds to maximize platform compatibility and viewer retention. When trimming out sensitive content, verify the excluded portion doesn't appear in thumbnail previews. Export the trimmed clip at the same resolution and frame rate as the original to avoid unnecessary re-encoding.

All processing happens directly in your browser. Your files never leave your device — no server uploads, no cloud storage, no data retention. The tool works offline once loaded, requires no registration, and is completely free with no usage limits.
