Private by design
Nothing is uploaded.Your video is trimmed in your browser tab and never sent to a server. It stays on your device.

Trim a video
Drop in a clip, set a start and end, and keep just the part you need. It is cut in your browser - nothing is uploaded.
Need only the middle minute of a long recording? Most "trim video" sites upload your clip to a server to cut it. This one does it on your own device with ffmpeg compiled to WebAssembly, so the video never leaves your computer. Set a start and end time, then download the trimmed clip. Free, no signup, no watermark. It is the same private, local-first approach as our screen recorder.
Nothing is uploaded. The video is trimmed on your device.
Choose a video or drop it here
MP4, WebM, MOV and more. Nothing is uploaded.
No install, no signup
Just a web page.No app, no extension, no account, and no watermark on the result. Works on locked-down computers too.
Just the good part
Set start and end.Keep only the seconds you want and drop the rest, then download the trimmed clip as MP4.
How it works
Three steps, all in the browser. The first run downloads the ffmpeg engine (about 30 MB) once; after that it starts instantly.
- Choose your video. Drop a clip (MP4, WebM, MOV) onto the box, or click to pick one. Its length is read automatically.
- Set start and end. Enter the seconds to keep. The end is prefilled with the full length so you can just pull it in.
- Trim and download. Preview the cut clip, then download it. Nothing was sent anywhere.
When this helps
- Cutting the dead air at the start and end of a screen recording.
- Keeping one highlight from a longer capture to share on its own.
- A private clip you would rather not upload to a random trimming website.
- A quick cut without opening heavy video editing software.
Recording something new?
Our screen recorder lets you trim the ends in the preview right after recording, so you can capture and cut in one place - with system audio, microphone, and a webcam overlay, all on your device.
Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about trimming a video here.
Is my video uploaded to a server?
No. The trim runs entirely in your browser using ffmpeg compiled to WebAssembly. Your video is read from your device, cut on your device, and saved back to your device. Nothing is uploaded, and there is no account.
How do I set the start and end?
Enter the start and end in seconds. When you pick a file, the tool reads its length and prefills the end, so you can just lower the end or raise the start to keep the part you want.
What format is the trimmed clip?
The result is an MP4 (H.264 video, AAC audio), which is broadly compatible with editors, chat apps, and upload forms.
Do I need to install anything?
No. It is a normal web page with no app, no browser extension, and no admin rights. The first run downloads the ffmpeg engine, about 30 MB, to your browser cache, then it is ready immediately next time.
Is there a file size limit?
There is no hard limit, but because everything runs in your browser, very large videos can be slow or run out of memory. For big files a desktop tool may be more reliable. Most screen recordings trim fine.
Does the result have a watermark?
No. There is no watermark and no signup. You get a clean trimmed MP4.
