Upload a video, cut one clip or as many as you need, and download them all. No signup, no watermark, nothing to install.
MP4/MOV/WEBM, up to 45 minutes
This online video cutter takes a video file off your device, keeps the parts you mark, and hands the result back as a download. There is no editor to learn and no timeline to fight with. You pick a start and an end, press one button, and the clip is ready.
It exists for the job most video editors make slow: you have one recording and you need two or three short pieces out of it. Instead of exporting the same file three times, you mark every range you want in one screen and get all the clips together. Camera footage, screen recordings, gameplay captures, webinar exports, and phone videos all work the same way.
Start to finish in about a minute for a short file. Longer videos mostly spend their time uploading.
Drag the file into the box above or press Choose a file. The preview loads straight away so you can find the moment you want.
Drag the two slider handles, or type exact start and end times. Press Add Clip for every extra section you want to keep.
Press Create Clips. The cutting runs on our servers and comes back as a ZIP, with a separate link for each clip.
Most online cutters give you one cut per visit. You trim, you export, you upload the same file again for the next piece. This one lets you queue every range up front.
Press Add Clip as many times as you need. Each row keeps its own slider and its own start and end time.
All the clips are cut in the same job and packed into a single archive, so there is one download instead of five.
When you cut more than one clip you also get a direct link per clip, for when you only need one of them right now.
Usually not, and it is worth knowing why, because most tools answer this with a flat "no quality loss" that is not quite true. Cutting takes one of two paths, and the cutter picks the better one automatically.
The existing video and audio data is lifted out of the file and written into a new one. Nothing is decoded and nothing is compressed again.
Some cut points cannot be copied directly. Rather than fail or hand you a broken first second, the clip is rebuilt once at high quality.
The reason for the second path is keyframes. A video file can only be split cleanly at certain reference frames, and in most recordings those sit one to two seconds apart. When your chosen start time lands between two of them, a plain copy would produce a clip that opens on a frozen or grey frame, so the cutter rebuilds that clip instead. If you need the cut exactly on a frame, set the start about a second early and tighten it later.
The practical effect is that this trims a video without losing quality in the ordinary case, and falls back to something visually very close in the awkward case, rather than quietly re-encoding everything the way a general-purpose converter does.
Three approaches dominate. Each is good at something different, so here is where each one actually fits.
| This video cutter | Browser-only cutters | Full online editors | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Account needed | Never | Usually not | Yes, to export |
| Large files on a phone | Fine, the work runs on our servers | Often crashes, the file loads into the device | Slow, the editor is heavy |
| Several clips at once | Yes, all in one ZIP | One cut per session | Possible, but one export at a time |
| Watermark on output | None | None | Common on free plans |
| Learning curve | Two sliders | Low | Real timeline to learn |
| Best for | Getting clips out fast, especially several | One quick trim of a small file | Titles, transitions, full edits |
If your video needs captions, music and transitions, an editor is the right tool. If you only need the good ninety seconds out of a forty minute recording, an editor is a long way round.
The same few tasks come up again and again.
Screen recordings and meeting exports almost always open with setup and close with someone looking for the stop button. Cut both ends and the video is ready to send.
Take the three strongest moments out of a long recording and post them separately. Marking all three at once is the difference between two minutes of work and twenty.
Email and chat apps reject long videos. Cutting to the section that matters usually gets the file under the limit without touching the quality.
Gameplay captures and event footage run long for one good sequence. Keep the sequence, drop the rest, and stop storing an hour of filler.
Set back-to-back ranges over a long recording and you get each chapter as its own file, ready to upload as a series.
No app to install and no storage to free up first. Open the page in a mobile browser, upload from the camera roll, and download the clip back.
Everything stated up front, so nothing fails after a long upload.
Cutting happens on our servers, so your file does travel to us. Here is exactly what it does while it is there.
The file is written to disk and its length is read. Anything over 45 minutes is rejected and deleted at that moment.
Each range you set becomes its own MP4. No account is attached to the job, because there is no account.
As soon as the clips exist, the video you uploaded is removed from the server, inside the same job that processed it.
The separate clip files are cleared once they are packed. The finished ZIP stays so your download link works, which is why it is worth downloading promptly.
One practical note: cutting a video does not remove anything from the part you keep. If a clip contains a face, a name, a document or a screen full of private information, that information is still in the clip you download and in anything you share it with.
Upload your video file, drag the slider handles to the start and end of the part you want to keep, then press Create Clips. The trimmed clip is prepared on our servers and comes back as a download. You can also type exact start and end times if you need frame-level precision.
Yes. Cutting and downloading your clips is free. There is no trial, no export credit, and no paywall on the download button for uploaded files.
No. There is no signup, no email, and no login. Open the page, upload a file, cut it, and download the result.
No. Nothing is drawn on top of your video. The clip you download contains only your own footage, at the original resolution and aspect ratio.
Usually not. The cutter first tries a stream copy, which lifts the existing video and audio data out of the file without decoding or re-encoding it, so the clip is identical in quality to the source. If the cut point cannot be handled by a plain copy, the clip is re-encoded once at high quality (CRF 23) instead of failing. Most cuts finish on the lossless path.
Yes, and this is the main reason to use this cutter. Press Add Clip for each extra section, set a start and end time for every row, then press Create Clips once. All the clips are cut in one pass and returned together in a ZIP, plus an individual download link per clip.
MP4, MOV and WEBM cover almost everything people upload, and most other common containers work too, including MKV, AVI and M4V. Clips always come back as MP4, which plays everywhere and uploads cleanly to any platform.
The source video has to be 45 minutes or shorter. That is checked in the browser before the upload starts and again on the server, so you find out immediately rather than after a long wait. There is no separate hard cap on resolution, so 1080p and 4K files are fine.
A ZIP archive containing every clip as a separate MP4 file, with the total size shown before you download. When you cut more than one clip you also get a direct download link for each individual clip, so you can grab just the one you need.
No. The file you upload is deleted from the server as soon as the clips have been created, in the same job that processes it. The individual clip files are removed once they are packed into the ZIP. Only the finished ZIP stays behind to serve your download link, so download it promptly.
Yes. The cutting itself runs on our servers, not inside your browser tab, so a phone can trim a large 4K recording without running out of memory or heating up. Browser-only cutters have to load the whole file into the device, which is where phones usually give up.
A splitter chops one video into consecutive parts, so part two starts where part one ended. A cutter keeps only the ranges you choose and throws away everything else. This tool is a cutter, but because you can add as many ranges as you like, back-to-back ranges give you the same result as a split.
Video files only allow clean cuts at keyframes, which sit a second or two apart in most recordings. On the lossless path the cut snaps to the nearest keyframe, so a clip can start a fraction earlier than the time you typed. If you need the cut exactly on the frame, set the start a second early and trim the extra in your editor.
Not here. This page is for video files you already have on your device. To cut a clip out of a YouTube video by pasting its link, use the YouTube video cutter on the home page instead.
Scroll back up, drop your file in, and mark the parts worth keeping. Nothing to install and nothing to sign up for.
