A video trimmer — also called a video cutter — lets you remove unwanted sections from the beginning, middle, or end of a clip, keeping only the part you actually want to use or share.

To use this tool, upload your video, watch the preview to note the start and end times you want to keep (in seconds), enter those values, and click the button. The tool then cuts precisely between those two timestamps and gives you a new, shorter video file to download.

Behind the scenes, the trimmer uses FFmpeg's stream-copy mode where possible, which cuts the video without fully re-encoding it. This makes trimming extremely fast and keeps the original quality completely intact, since no pixel data is recompressed.

This is useful for removing dead air at the start of a screen recording, pulling a highlight clip out of a longer video, cutting a video down to fit a platform's maximum length, or preparing a short teaser from a longer piece of footage.

If you need to keep multiple separate sections rather than one continuous clip, trim each section individually and then use our Video Merger tool to stitch the pieces back together in the order you want.

Because our trimmer uses stream-copy rather than re-encoding, it works by cutting at the nearest keyframe rather than the exact frame boundary in some cases, which is standard behavior for lossless trimming tools. For most everyday trimming needs — removing a slow intro, cutting off dead air, or shortening a clip to fit a length limit — this precision is more than sufficient.

If you need frame-accurate cuts down to the exact millisecond for a professional edit, you may want to trim slightly wider than needed here and do the final fine-tuning in a dedicated video editor; for the vast majority of everyday trimming tasks, though, this tool gives you a fast, lossless result in seconds.

Unlike many free online trimmers that quietly cap you at short clips or add a watermark unless you pay, this tool places no arbitrary limit on trim length or number of uses. Whether you're cutting a two-second highlight or extracting a twenty-minute segment from a much longer recording, the process works exactly the same way, at no cost, with no branding added to your output.

If your original recording contains several distinct moments you each want to keep, it's often faster to trim out each moment as its own separate file first, rather than trying to keep one long trimmed section with unwanted footage still mixed in between the parts you actually want.

This makes it a natural first step before using almost any other tool on this site — compress, convert, or add a watermark to just the section you actually need, instead of processing footage you're going to discard anyway.

A fast, lossless way to keep only the part of your footage that actually matters.

Because it works by stream copy, even very long source files trim down in a matter of seconds.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know the exact start/end time?

Play the original preview after uploading — the video player's scrubber shows the current time, which you can use to note your desired start and end seconds.

Will trimming reduce quality?

No. The trimmer copies the original video stream directly, so there is no quality loss from the trimming process itself.

Can I trim multiple sections at once?

Trim one section at a time. To combine several separate sections, trim each one and then use our Video Merger tool.

What if my end time is longer than the video?

The tool will simply trim up to the end of the actual video file.
