How do I trim a video online for free?

Upload your video, drag the start and end handles to select the part you want to keep, and click Trim. Our server cuts the clip and gives you an MP4 to download — no software to install and no account needed. It works with MP4, MOV, WebM, AVI, and MKV files up to 500 MB.

Is this video trimmer really free? Is there a watermark?

Yes, it's completely free and there is no watermark on your trimmed video. You can cut as many videos as you like. Your file is processed on our server and deleted within 24 hours — we never keep it.

Do I need to sign up or install anything?

No. The video cutter runs entirely in your browser — no sign-up, no app, no extension. Trim video online on any device, including phones and tablets.

What video formats can I cut?

The trimmer accepts MP4, MOV, WebM, AVI, MKV, M4V, MPEG, and 3GP. Whatever you upload, the trimmed clip is exported as a universally-compatible MP4 that plays everywhere.

Will trimming reduce my video quality?

No. We re-encode only the section you keep at near-lossless quality and preserve the original resolution, so a trimmed clip looks the same as the source. Because it's a shorter clip, the resulting file is also smaller.

How long a video can I trim?

You can upload a source video up to 1 hour long and 500 MB. Trimming is fast — most clips are cut in a few seconds once the upload finishes.

Can I trim a video on my phone?

Yes. The online video cutter is fully browser-based and touch-friendly, so you can cut a video on an iPhone or Android phone the same way you would on a desktop — no app required.

Trimmer or Cutter?

"Trim" and "cut" are the same thing here: you choose a start and an end, and we keep that segment. Use it to remove dead air from the ends of a clip or to grab a single highlight to share.

Because you only keep the part you need, the output is also a smaller file — handy when you're trying to get a video under an email, WhatsApp, or Discord size limit.

What You Can Do

One simple online video cutter, three common jobs

Trim the ends off a video

Cut dead air from the start or end of a recording — perfect for tidying up screen recordings, Zoom calls, or phone clips before you share them.

Cut a clip to share

Grab just the highlight you need for social, messaging, or email. A shorter clip is also a smaller file, so it's easier to send and upload anywhere.

Shorten to fit a size limit

Video too big for a 10 MB or 25 MB limit? Trimming it shorter is often the fastest way to get under the cap — then compress the clip if you need to go smaller still.
