How to trim video
- Add the video. Drop the clip onto the tool or browse for it.
- Set in and out points. Scrub the timeline and mark where the exported clip should start and end.
- Choose audio. Keep the original audio or mute the exported segment.
- Download. Export the trimmed clip locally and save it.
Trimming is the most common video edit — chop the dead air off the front, stop before the wobble at the end, or pull one clean clip out of a long recording. Because it runs locally, raw footage you would not want on a server never leaves the tab.
Set the start and end on the timeline and decide whether to keep sound; muting is useful for silent background loops or when the audio is not needed. A copy-based trim is fast, while a re-encode gives you a frame-accurate cut.
Once trimmed, turn the clip into an animation with the GIF maker, change its format with the Video converter, or shrink it with Compress.
Frequently asked questions
Does trimming re-encode the video?
It can trim quickly by copying the selected range, or re-encode for frame-accurate cuts — either way the work happens locally.
Can I remove the audio while trimming?
Yes — enable mute to export the segment silently, which is handy for background loops.
Can I cut out the middle of a video?
This tool exports a single continuous range. To assemble multiple pieces, trim each and combine them.
Is my video uploaded to trim it?
No. The clip is processed in your browser tab with FFmpeg; the file stays on your device.
