    How to use the video trimmer

    1. Choose a video.
    2. Play it and set the start and end with Now, or type the times.
    3. Select Trim video and download the clip.

    Fast or precise?

    Fast copies the original video data, so it takes seconds and keeps the exact quality, but cuts can only start on a keyframe, so the clip may begin up to a couple of seconds early. Precise re-encodes the clip so it starts and ends on the exact frame; it takes longer.

    Examples

    2-hour recording, 35-second clip, Fast

    Done in seconds, same quality

    Exact cut for a meme, Precise

    Frame-accurate MP4

    Questions

    Why does the first conversion take longer?

    The first time, your browser downloads the video engine (FFmpeg compiled to WebAssembly, about 31 MB) from this site. After that it’s cached, and the work itself runs on your device.

    Are my files uploaded?

    No. Everything happens in your browser on your own device, so your files are never sent to a server.
