How to trim a video
- Drop the video file.

- Keep the original resolution and High quality for the best result.
- Click Convert, then download the clip.
Good to know
At High quality and the original resolution, with the same format as the original (MP4 to MP4, WebM to WebM), the selected part is copied without re-encoding: no quality loss, and it takes about a second. Other settings re-encode the clip with your browser's built-in codecs (the WebCodecs API), still much faster than the video plays; browsers without WebCodecs record the part while it plays instead. It works on any computer or phone without installing software. Runs in your browser. Your files are not uploaded.
Trimming is ideal for removing the fumbling at the start and end of phone videos, cutting a highlight from a game or sports recording, or making a short clip for social media. For a looping, silent clip, try the video to GIF converter.
FAQ
Does trimming reduce quality?
Not at High quality and the original resolution in the same format as the original: the video is copied without re-encoding. Other settings re-encode it, which loses a little detail.
Can I cut out a part in the middle?
Not in one step. Trim the two parts separately.
What format is the result?
MP4 or WebM, chosen in the format menu, which lists what your browser can create.
