Common video trimming needs
Trim the start and end of a video
Most clips need exactly this: lose the shaky first seconds and the part where you reach for the stop button. Drag the two handles on the timeline to frame the section you want, and the export keeps only that range.
Cut out a middle part of a video
When the video is good except for one bad stretch, switch to remove mode. Select the section to delete and the parts before and after are joined into a single file automatically, with no gap.
Preview exactly what you will keep
The preview plays your selection the way the export will look: in keep mode it loops only the kept range, in remove mode it skips the deleted section during playback. Zoom the timeline and use the frame thumbnails to place cut points to a tenth of a second, and undo is there if a drag goes too far.
Smooth openings and endings with fades
A hard cut can feel abrupt at the very start or end of a clip. Turn on fade in or fade out and the exported video eases in from black or out to black, with the sound rising and falling to match.
Trim MP4, MOV, WebM and other formats
Phone footage, screen recordings and camera files all work: MP4, MOV, AVI, WMV, WebM and other common formats, up to 500MB per file for free users. The trimmed clip exports as MP4.
Keep mode vs remove mode
Keep a selection
Keep mode exports only the range you select. Use it when the good part is one continuous stretch, like pulling a thirty-second highlight out of a long recording.
Cut out a section
Remove mode deletes the range you select and stitches the rest together. Use it when the video is mostly fine except for an interruption in the middle, like a phone call break in a screen recording.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I trim a video online?
Upload your video, then drag the handles on the timeline to choose the part you want to keep. Preview the selection to make sure it is right, then export the trimmed clip.
Can I cut out a part from the middle of a video?
Yes. Switch to remove mode, select the section you want to delete, and export. The parts before and after are automatically joined into one complete file.
Can I cut a video without losing quality?
Yes. Trimming only removes the parts you do not want. The portion you keep stays at its original quality.
Does trimming a video make the file smaller?
Yes. The shorter the part you keep, the smaller the exported file. When processing finishes, the result page shows the input and output sizes side by side.
How precise can the cut points be?
The handles snap to a tenth of a second. Zoom the timeline and use the frame thumbnails to land the cut exactly where you want it.
Can I add a fade in or fade out?
Yes. Tick fade in or fade out before exporting and the clip eases in or out smoothly, with both the picture and the sound transitioning together.
What formats does the video cutter support?
You can cut MP4, MOV, AVI, WMV, WebM and most other common video formats, up to 500MB per file for free users.
