Frequently Asked Questions

Can I trim a video without re-encoding?
Yes. This tool uses a copy-codec approach when possible, which trims at keyframe boundaries without re-encoding. This preserves original quality and is much faster than re-encoding the entire video.
What is the difference between cut and trim?
They are the same operation. Trimming (or cutting) means removing parts of a video to keep only the segment you want. You set a start and end time, and everything outside that range is removed.
What video format works best?
MP4 (H.264) is the most widely supported format and works best with this tool. WebM and MOV are also supported. The output maintains the same format as the input.
How precise is the trimming?
You can set start and end times down to hundredths of a second using the time inputs. The timeline slider also provides fine-grained control. Copy-codec trimming snaps to the nearest keyframe for lossless cuts.
Is there a maximum video duration?
There is no strict duration limit, but the file size must be under what your browser can handle in memory. For best results, keep files under 500 MB.

About Video Trimmer

What this tool does

Video tools convert between formats (MP4, WebM, GIF), trim clips to a specific time range, compress video for sharing, and extract frames or audio. Processing uses FFmpeg compiled to WebAssembly, so everything stays in your browser.

Why use this tool

Uploading raw video to an online converter exposes your content and takes bandwidth. With client-side processing, you keep full control of your footage while getting quick format conversions and basic edits done without desktop software.

How it works

The tool loads FFmpeg.wasm into memory, reads your video file, and executes the requested pipeline: re-encoding to a target codec, cutting at specified timestamps, or reducing resolution and bitrate. Output is written to a virtual file system and offered for download.

Pro tip

H.264 inside an MP4 container is the most universally supported combination. For web-only playback, VP9 in WebM gives better compression at the same quality.
