Trim video shortens the beginning and end of a video directly in your browser. Three cut modes are available: Automatic uses the safe local path, Precise re-encodes and cuts as close as possible to the chosen frames, and “video track unchanged” copies the video track without re-encoding — though technical limits can cause the actual cut point to deviate from the requested one.
Typical searches include trim video, cut MP4, and shorten video. Processing runs locally in the browser. WebM as an output format is often the most reliable in browsers for precise local output; audio can be kept or deliberately removed, and descriptive metadata can be carried over.
Typical use cases
Quickly extract a segment without quality loss
Use “video track unchanged” to quickly get a rough segment without re-encoding, when frame-accurate boundaries aren't critical.
Set exact cut points for social media clips
Use “Precise” mode when the clip must start and end exactly at specific frames, for example for short social media clips.
Deliberately keep or remove audio
Keep the existing audio track or deliberately remove it, for example to prepare a silent clip for subtitles or background music.
Tips for better results
Pick the cut mode that matches your priority
“Automatic” suits most cases, “Precise” for exact frame boundaries, and “video track unchanged” for maximum speed without quality loss on rough cuts.
Consider WebM for reliable precise output
If MP4 causes issues in precise mode in your browser, try WebM as the output format — it's often considered more reliable for exact local cuts.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between the cut modes?
Automatic uses the safe local path, Precise re-encodes for exact frame boundaries, and video track unchanged copies the track without re-encoding, with possible deviation from the exact timestamp.
Are my videos uploaded?
No. Trimming runs entirely locally in the browser; the files never leave your device.
