I need to trim or cut a video
Cut off the dead air at the start, keep just the good part, or split a long clip, right in your browser.
To trim a video, use a video trimmer: set where it should start and end and export just that section. No software to install. Our Video Trimmer runs in your browser, so the clip is never uploaded. Trimming also shrinks the file, which helps if you need to email or upload it afterwards.

- Trying to trim a very large clip on a low-memory device: browser processing has limits, so start with a manageable file.
- Re-exporting repeatedly, which re-encodes and slowly softens quality. Trim once from the original.
- Forgetting you can also just extract the audio if the video itself isn't needed.
