Pro Tips
- •Common social trims: 60s (Instagram Reels), 30s (Twitter or X), 15s (TikTok intro).
- •Trimming preserves the original video and audio quality — no re-encoding.
- •To trim multiple non-contiguous sections, trim each individually and combine with a video joiner.
- •Cut a few hundred milliseconds before and after your target points to avoid clipping speech mid-syllable.
- •If your input is a screen recording with awkward pauses at start and end, this is the fastest way to clean it before sharing.

When to Use Video Trimmer
Social media clips
Cut a longer recording down to 15s, 30s, or 60s to fit platform limits without re-encoding.
Highlight extraction
Pull a single moment from a long meeting recording, gameplay session, or interview.
Pre-compression cleanup
Remove silent intro and outro before compressing — smaller input means a smaller compressed output.
Quick previews
Create a short teaser clip from a longer video for emails, landing pages, or social previews.
Frequently Asked Questions
What video formats are supported?
MP4, WebM, MOV, MKV, AVI, and any format your browser can natively play. Output keeps your input format.
Will trimming reduce my video quality?
No. Trimming is a lossless operation — the existing video and audio streams are kept intact, just clipped at your chosen points.
How precise can I trim?
Timestamps to one decimal place (100 ms precision). For 30fps video, that is about 3-frame accuracy.
Is there a file size limit?
No imposed limit. Practical cap is your device memory — 1–2 GB videos work on desktop, smaller on mobile.
Do my videos get uploaded?
No. Trimming happens entirely in your browser. Your video never leaves your device.
