How to Trim Videos Online

  1. Click the upload area and select a video file (MP4, WebM, or MOV).
  2. Play the video and use the "Set to current" buttons to mark your start and end points.
  3. Click "Trim Video" to extract the selected clip.
  4. Preview the trimmed video and download the result.

Why Trim Videos?

  • Remove Unwanted Sections: Cut out intros, outros, bloopers, or dead air to keep only the content that matters.
  • Social Media Clips: Extract the best moments from longer videos to create short, engaging clips for Instagram, TikTok, or Twitter.
  • Smaller File Sizes: Trimming removes unnecessary footage, significantly reducing file size for easier sharing and storage.
  • Better Presentations: Cut videos to the exact length needed for slides, demos, or product showcases.

Trimming Tips

Use keyboard shortcuts: Pause the video at the exact frame you want, then click "Set to current" for precise start and end points.

Leave a small buffer: Add 0.1-0.5 seconds before and after your desired clip to avoid cutting off important content due to keyframe alignment.

Choose the right format: MP4 (H.264) offers the best compatibility across devices and platforms. WebM is great for web-only use with smaller file sizes.

What our customers say

People love how great our product works and how we're always there to help

Rated 4.7

"Business pressures now demand almost a 24x7 operation. The difference between choosing one SaaS product or another isn't just down to the technical capabilities of each, but down to their responsiveness when it doesn't quite work. In this case, an issue blocked us from being able to use the platform as intended. Within minutes of using the live chat, the issue was not only reproduced but correctly identified. Within the hour, the hot fix had been coded, tested and applied - unblocking the bottleneck and allowing us to carry on working. This is exceptional and the reason why I can't recommend this company enough - I'm so impressed and very grateful for their hard work. Keep it up!"

"We were looking for tools to help our users create and edit images with templates. We tried options like Canva, but Templated.io turned out to be the perfect choice for our product. It offers an easy API to render images, and its embed editor lets us provide our users with a full editing experience without having to create complex frontend components. It's a really great tool!"

"We integrate Templated.io into our portal for custom flyer generation. The editor is amazing, and the Canva import tool is exactly what we were looking for. Massive shoutout to Pedro for the technical support. He responds incredibly fast and fixes issues in no time. Highly recommended!"

"Brilliant piece of software. Reasonably priced (vs Canva's outrageously expensive API), and despite a few intricacies with the editor, a really fully-featured document generation API. Really great support too from Pedro, the founder!"

"Templated.io is basically a an API-first graphics content designer which makes it super easy to programmatically create document and image assets. It has most basic features and it is robust and "just works". The Make.com app really makes it super simple to incorporate into automation workflows. What sets templated.io apart the most is Pedro and his super fast and service minded, solutions oriented responses."

Video Trimmer FAQs

Common questions about trimming videos

Is this video trimmer free?

Yes, completely free with no limits. Your videos are processed entirely in your browser using FFmpeg.wasm — nothing is uploaded to any server.

What video formats are supported?

This tool supports MP4, WebM, and MOV (QuickTime) video files. You can also choose between MP4 and WebM as the output format.

Can I set exact start and end times?

Yes. Play the video to the exact moment you want, then click "Set to current" to capture the precise timestamp. You can also type exact values in seconds (e.g., 12.5) directly into the input fields.

Will trimming reduce quality?

The trimming process re-encodes the video using high-quality settings (H.264 CRF 23 for MP4, VP9 for WebM). For most use cases, the quality difference is negligible. The output is optimized for a good balance between quality and file size.

Are my videos uploaded to a server?

No. All processing happens 100% in your browser using FFmpeg compiled to WebAssembly. Your videos never leave your device, making this completely private and secure.

What is the maximum file size?

This tool accepts videos up to 500MB. Since processing happens in your browser, very large videos may take longer depending on your device's memory and processing power.

Can I trim just the beginning or end?

Absolutely. To trim the beginning, set the start time to where you want the video to begin and leave the end time at the full duration. To trim the end, keep the start at 0 and set the end time to your desired cutoff point.

How accurate is the trimming?

Trimming accuracy depends on the video's keyframe structure. Most videos encode keyframes every 1-2 seconds. The tool re-encodes the clip to ensure frame-accurate cuts at your specified start and end points.

Does trimming preserve audio?

Yes. The trim operation preserves both the video and audio tracks. Audio is re-encoded using AAC for MP4 output or Opus for WebM output to maintain quality.

Can I change the output format while trimming?

Yes. You can select either MP4 or WebM as the output format regardless of the input format. For example, you can upload a MOV file and export the trimmed clip as an MP4.
