What the options do
- Fast
- Copies the video without re-encoding. It takes seconds and loses no quality, but the cut can begin a moment before your start time because videos can only be cut cleanly at certain frames.
- Exact
- Re-encodes the part you keep so the cut falls on the frame you chose. It takes longer, since the work happens on your device, and the output is an MP4.
Privacy
The video is cut by a converter running inside your browser. It is never uploaded to a server.
Questions people ask
Is my video uploaded?
No. Trimming runs in your browser with a WebAssembly build of ffmpeg. Your video stays on your device.
Why does the Fast cut start a little early?
Compressed video stores a full picture only every second or two. A fast cut starts at the nearest one before your start time so it can copy the video untouched. Use Exact when the start point must be precise.
Why does it take a moment to start?
The converter is about 30 MB and downloads the first time you use an audio or video tool. After that your browser keeps it.
How big a video can I use?
Up to 300 MB. Phones have less memory than computers, so keep videos below about 100 MB there.
Can I remove the middle of a video?
Not in one step. Trim the first part, trim the second part, and join them in a video editor.
