How to Trim and Cut a Video Online (Free)
Most clips have a few seconds of dead air at the start and end you'd rather cut. The Video Trimmer lets you keep just the part that matters and export a clean clip in seconds, entirely in your browser with no watermark.
When to trim a video
Trimming is the fastest edit there is: removing a slow intro, cutting to the highlight, splitting a long recording, or shortening a clip to fit a platform's time limit. Because trimming reduces duration, it's also one of the easiest ways to make a file smaller before sharing.
How to cut a video
- Open the Video Trimmer and add your file. 2. Drag the two handles to set the start and end of the part you want to keep. 3. Export and download the trimmed clip. The processing is local, so your video never leaves your device.
What to do after trimming
Once your clip is the right length, you might compress it with the Video Compressor, turn it into a GIF, or add auto captions with the Reel & Shorts Caption Generator. Browse all the free video tools to finish the job.
