Just the good seconds

Most clips are right for eleven seconds and wrong for the other thirty. This keeps the eleven, without the upload every other trimmer starts with.

Trim a video

Runs on your device, nothing uploaded

Your video is read off your disk, the stretch you keep is re-encoded by your own browser, and the rest is never touched. No server is involved at any point. It re-encodes as it goes, so start from your original export rather than from a copy that has already been squeezed.

Three steps

How it works

  1. Drop a file in

    Nothing uploads, so there is no wait before you start and no size cap beyond what your own browser can hold.

  2. Mark the keep

    Pause the preview where the good part starts and ends and press the buttons, or type the times.

  3. Save it

    Your browser re-encodes just that stretch and hands it straight back, audio included.

What it is for

Why this one is worth having

  • Nothing gets uploaded

    The stretch you keep is re-encoded in the tab. Everything outside it is never even written into the new file.

  • You trim on the footage

    The times come from pausing the actual preview on the actual moment, not from dragging a blind handle and hoping.

  • It is not fast

    It encodes at playback speed, so a 20 second keep takes about 20 seconds. That is the price of no server, and the reason there is no queue and no bill.

FAQ

Video trimmer, asked and answered

Does my video get uploaded?

No. The stretch you keep is re-encoded by your own browser and handed straight back. There is no server request anywhere in that, no account, and no copy of your footage anywhere but your machine.

Will the quality drop?

It is a re-encode, so fractionally, at a setting chosen to be hard to spot. Start from your original export rather than from a copy that has already been through a platform.

How exact is the trim?

Within about a frame of the times you set. Set them by pausing the preview on the exact moment, which is more accurate than dragging a handle by eye.

Is there a length or size limit?

No fixed one. Nothing uploads, so the only limit is your browser's own memory. The encode runs at playback speed, so a long keep is a long wait, and the page is upfront about that.

Do I get an MP4?

In Chrome, Edge and Safari, yes. Firefox makes WebM instead, the page says which one you are getting, and every major platform takes both.
