A trimming tool, honestly scoped

This is built for the single most common video job: cutting a clip down to the part that matters and exporting it. It is deliberately not a timeline suite — no transitions, no titles, no multi-track audio — because those belong in desktop software, not a browser tab.

CapabilityStatus
Trim to a sectionYes
Export re-encodes selection onlyYes — short cuts finish fast
Transitions, titles, multi-trackNo — use a desktop editor
Input formatsMP4, WebM, MOV
Processing locationYour device (CPU-intensive)

Typical jobs people use this for

  • Cutting the useful 40 seconds from a 10-minute screen recording
  • Trimming dead air from the start of a recorded call
  • Shortening a phone video before messaging it

When this is the wrong tool

Anything with a narrative arc — cuts between scenes, captions, music — needs a real editor like DaVinci or CapCut. And on a phone, long clips will crawl: video processing eats CPU, and laptops simply have more of it.

Frequently Asked Questions

What editing can I do here?

This is a focused tool for practical trimming and basic adjustments — cutting a clip down to the section you need and exporting it. It is not a timeline editor with transitions, titles and multi-track audio; for those you want a dedicated desktop application.

Does trimming re-encode the whole video?

The exported section is re-encoded, which is why processing takes a little time and depends on clip length rather than the original file's full duration. Trimming to a short section is correspondingly quick.

Why is my browser slow while editing?

Video processing is genuinely demanding, and it is using your device's CPU rather than a server's. Closing other tabs helps considerably, as does working on a laptop rather than a phone for anything longer than a short clip.

What formats can I open?

Common containers such as MP4, WebM and MOV work. If a file will not load, converting it to MP4 first with our video converter is usually the quickest fix.

Does my footage get uploaded?

No. Everything runs locally in the browser, which makes it usable for personal footage and unreleased material you would not want sitting on someone else's server.
