About the Trim Video
Trim Video cuts a clip out of a longer video. Play the video, mark the start and end with one click, and download just that part: perfect for WhatsApp status, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts or removing a long intro from a recording.
Fast mode copies the original video and audio without re-encoding, so it is instant and lossless (cuts land on the nearest keyframe). Precise mode re-encodes the clip for frame-accurate cuts. There is never a watermark. Everything happens in your browser: the file never leaves your phone or computer, is not uploaded to any server and is not stored by News Appite.
Because the video never leaves your device, you can safely trim family videos, client footage or screen recordings that contain private information.
How to use the Trim Video
- Choose a video (MP4, MOV, WebM or M4V).
- Play or scrub to the start point and press "Set start", then do the same for the end.
- Choose Fast (lossless) or Precise mode.
- Press "Trim video" and download the clip.
Tips & benchmarks
- WhatsApp status allows clips of up to 60 seconds (older versions 30 seconds); Instagram Reels up to several minutes.
- Fast mode may start the clip slightly before your chosen point because it cuts at a keyframe.
- Very long 4K videos use a lot of memory; use a desktop browser for them.
- Pause the video at the exact frame you want, then press "Set start" or "Set end" to copy the current time.
Frequently asked questions
Does trimming reduce quality?
Not in Fast mode, which copies the original streams. Precise mode re-encodes at high quality.
Is there a watermark?
No, never.
Which formats work?
MP4, MOV, WebM and M4V. MOV and M4V clips are saved as MP4 in Precise mode.
Is my video uploaded?
No. It is processed in your browser with FFmpeg compiled to WebAssembly.
How do I cut a video for WhatsApp status?
Set the start and end so the clip is 60 seconds or shorter, choose Fast mode and download the MP4.
Why does Fast mode start a little early?
Videos can only be cut losslessly at keyframes, which occur every few seconds. Use Precise mode for an exact start.
Can I trim a video on my phone?
Yes, in Chrome or Safari. Short clips work best on phones because of memory limits.
