How to Use the Video Trimmer
Upload a video file, drag the trim handles to pick the start and end of your clip, and optionally add more ranges to extract several pieces from one video. Choose MP4 or WebM for video output, or MP3/WAV to save audio only. Click Trim โ on first use the FFmpeg engine downloads (cached for next time). Everything runs locally in your browser; nothing is uploaded.
About This Toolโพ
Other online video trimmers upload the file to a server, cut it there, and hand back a download link. This trimmer runs FFmpeg compiled to WebAssembly entirely in your browser, so your video never leaves your device. It keeps audio in sync, supports multiple clip ranges per input so you can split a long recording into several pieces in one pass, and can also strip the video track to save audio only as MP3 or WAV. Pair with the Video to GIF converter to turn a trimmed clip into a share-ready GIF, or the Audio Converter if you need a different audio format than MP3 or WAV.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is my video uploaded to a server?
No. The trimmer loads FFmpeg via WebAssembly and processes the file locally in your browser tab. Nothing is transmitted to any server โ you can watch the network tab to confirm.
Does the trim lose any quality?
MP4 output is re-encoded with H.264 at CRF 23 (visually near-lossless), which guarantees an accurate cut on a non-keyframe boundary without a black first frame. WebM uses VP9 at CRF 30. Audio is re-encoded to AAC 128 kbps for MP4 and Opus 128 kbps for WebM. If you want an exact bit-for-bit slice with no re-encode, use a desktop tool โ browser FFmpeg always re-encodes for accuracy.
Why are my WebM clips failing but MP4 works?
WebM (VP9 + Opus) requires FFmpeg's multi-threaded core, which only loads when your browser has SharedArrayBuffer support available. That requires specific HTTP headers (COOP/COEP) that this tool page sets. On very old browsers the WebM option may be disabled โ MP4 will still work everywhere.
Can I extract just the audio as MP3?
Yes. Pick the MP3 output format and the trimmer drops the video track and encodes the audio with LAME at VBR quality 2 (โ190 kbps). WAV is also available if you need a lossless PCM file for editing.
How many clips can I extract from one video?
Up to 10 clip ranges per upload. Each clip is processed in sequence and downloaded individually, so you can cut a long recording into several named pieces in one pass without re-uploading.
