Upload a video from your device, drag out the part you want, and download just that. Up to 45 minutes per file, several clips in one pass, and nothing to install.
MP4/MOV/WEBM, up to 45 minutes
Four steps. The file never leaves your browser until you press the button.
Drag the file onto the box above or press Choose File. Anything your browser recognises as video works, and MP4, MOV and WEBM are the safe bets.
Type the exact timecodes or drag the handles. The clip length updates as you move them, so you can see what you are about to get.
Press Add Clip to define another range from the same upload. You can name each one, which is easier than renaming files afterwards.
Press the process button. Each clip comes back as its own file, ready to save.
The limits are worth knowing before you start rather than after a failed upload.
| Limit | Value |
|---|---|
| Formats | Any video your browser can read. MP4, MOV and WEBM are the reliable ones. |
| Maximum length | 45 minutes per file. Longer uploads are rejected before anything is sent. |
| Clips per upload | As many ranges as you like from the same file, cut in one pass. |
| Output | One file per clip, in the format and quality you picked. |
| Cost | Free. No account, no watermark, no daily cap. |
Neither is better in general. They are better at different jobs.
| What matters | This online video cutter | Desktop editor |
|---|---|---|
| Getting started | Open the page and drag a file in | Download, install, learn the interface |
| Trimming one clip | Under a minute | Minutes, most of it waiting for the app |
| Working on a phone | Yes, same page | Rarely |
| Colour, audio mixing, effects | No, this only cuts | Yes, that is the point of them |
| Files over 45 minutes | Not supported | No practical limit |
If the job is 'give me these two minutes as a separate file', an online video cutter finishes before a desktop editor has opened. If you need to grade, mix or add effects, use a real editor.
A fair question, because you are handing a file to a server you do not control.
Finished clips are removed from our servers after 10 minutes on the free tier, 45 minutes on Premium. We do not keep a copy and we do not build a library.
There is nothing to sign up for, so there is no record connecting an upload to a person.
No extension and no desktop app. The page you are on is the whole tool.
Use this for footage you shot, own, or have permission to edit. That is on you rather than on the tool.
Yes. No account, no watermark on the output, and no cap on how many videos you cut. Premium only extends how long finished files stay available for download.
45 minutes per upload. The check runs in your browser before anything is sent, so an over-length file fails immediately rather than after a long upload.
Anything your browser can read as video. MP4, MOV and WEBM are the reliable ones. Unusual codecs sometimes will not preview, and if the preview does not play the cut will not work either.
Yes. Press Add Clip for each range you want and they are all cut in the same pass, each one returned as its own file. You can name them so you are not sorting through numbered downloads.
Clips are produced from your source at the quality you chose. You are not going to gain quality, but a straightforward trim does not degrade it the way repeated re-encoding in an editor can.
No. No app, no extension. If any video cutter site asks you to install something before it will work, close the tab.
There is no account, so nothing is tied to you, and finished files are deleted automatically after 10 minutes on the free tier. We do not keep your source video.
This page is for files on your device. For a YouTube link, use the YouTube video cutter on the home page, which trims without downloading the whole video first.
Cutting a YouTube link instead of a file? The YouTube video cutter trims straight from a URL. For audio only, the YTMP3 converter pulls the sound in one step. Longer files and faster processing come with Premium.
