Trim Video Online

Cut a video down to the part that matters by dragging two handles — and in Fast mode the cut finishes in seconds with no quality loss at all.

Fast mode copies the original streams instead of re-encoding, so trimming is near-instant and completely lossless.

  • Exact re-encodes, so it takes far longer on a long clip.

  • Arrow keys nudge a handle; hold Shift for one-second steps.

FAQ

Video trimming questions

Does trimming reduce quality?

Not in Fast mode — it copies the original video and audio untouched. Exact mode re-encodes, which loses a small amount.

Why did my cut land slightly off?

Fast mode can only cut on keyframes, which may be up to a second apart. Switch to Exact for a frame-accurate cut.

Can I cut a section out of the middle?

Not yet — trimming keeps one continuous section. Run it twice and join the pieces elsewhere if you need to remove a middle chunk.
