Splitting vs trimming — keep both halves

Trimming keeps one selection and discards the rest; splitting cuts the file into pieces and keeps everything. The 500 MB ceiling here is five times the converter's, because splitting re-encodes far less than a full conversion does.

Fact	Detail
Size limit	500 MB
You choose the cut point	Yes
Cut lands on nearest keyframe	Within fractions of a second
Quality after split	Unchanged in practice
Both halves kept	Always

Typical jobs people use this for

Breaking a two-hour recorded meeting into per-topic files
Splitting a match recording into halves for separate upload
Cutting a long tutorial into chapter-sized pieces

When this is the wrong tool

If you only want one segment and will delete the rest, trim instead — one operation, one output. And for frame-exact cuts (removing a single bad frame), browser tools stop at keyframe precision; desktop editors go finer.

Frequently Asked Questions

How large a file can I split?

Up to 500 MB. Splitting is less memory-hungry than full conversion, so the limit is considerably higher here than on the converter.

Can I choose exactly where the cut falls?

Yes, you set the split point yourself. Bear in mind that video is organised around keyframes, so a cut may land on the nearest one rather than the exact millisecond — a difference of a fraction of a second in practice.

Do the resulting clips lose quality?

Any quality change comes from re-encoding the segments, and at normal settings it is not noticeable. The split itself does not degrade the footage.

Why would I split a video rather than trim it?

Splitting is the right tool when you want to keep both halves — separating a recorded meeting into topics, or breaking a long clip into parts small enough to send. Trimming discards everything outside your selection.

Is the video uploaded?

No. Processing happens in your browser using WebAssembly, so nothing is transmitted to a server.
