# Trim video — cut to a clip in your browser, no upload

> Cut a video to the segment you need and optionally mute it, in your browser. No upload — trimming runs on your device with FFmpeg.

Set in and out points and export just the part of a video you want, with the option to mute it. The cut is made on your device, so nothing is uploaded.

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.

## How to

1. **Add the video.** Drop the clip onto the tool or browse for it.
2. **Set in and out points.** Scrub the timeline and mark where the exported clip should start and end.
3. **Choose audio.** Keep the original audio or mute the exported segment.
4. **Download.** Export the trimmed clip locally and save it.

## FAQ

### 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.
