How to trim a video online for free
Cutting a video down to just the part you need.
Trim Video
Choose a video, play it to the moment where it should start and end, and download the trimmed part. MP4, MOV, MKV, WEBM and AVI are supported.
How to trim a video
- Choose the video. A preview opens on this page. Only you see it, and it is not uploaded yet.
- Play or drag the preview to the first moment you want, then press Use current position under Start. Do the same for End. You can also type times such as
1:15or75.5. - Choose Fast or Exact and press Trim video. The video is uploaded, cut, and offered for download.
Fast or exact?
Videos are stored as key frames with small changes in between. Fast copies the video as it is, so quality is untouched and it finishes in seconds, but it can only start on a key frame. The result may begin up to a couple of seconds early. Exact re-encodes the video so the cut lands on the exact frame. It takes longer for long videos, and the file is saved as MP4.
