Exact vs fast trimming
| Method | Accuracy | Speed and quality |
|---|---|---|
| Exact | Starts and ends at the fraction of a second you chose. | Re-encodes the part to high-quality MP4; takes time depending on its length. |
| Very fast | Starts at the nearest keyframe before your start, which can be a second or two early. | Seconds even for long videos, with exactly the same quality and format. |
Frequently asked questions
How do I cut part of a video without software?
Open this page in your browser, choose the video, set the start and end, and press “Trim the video”. Nothing to install.
Does it add a watermark?
No. The video you download has no watermark or logo.
Why does the fast cut start before my time?
Without re-encoding, a compressed video can only be cut at keyframes, which usually come every one to a few seconds. Choose “Exact” to start right on time.
Is my file uploaded?
No. The tool runs inside your browser with the open-source FFmpeg engine; the file is read from your device and the result is saved back to it, never reaching our servers or anyone else’s.
Does it work on iPhone and Android?
Yes, in Safari (16.4 or newer), Chrome, Firefox and Edge, on phones and computers. Phones are slower and have less memory, so start with short clips.
