What Video Trimmer does
Almost every video has ballast: the three seconds of wobble at the start before the camera settles, the click of switching off at the end, the half a minute of run-up before things get going. The Video Trimmer removes exactly this ballast. You keep the part that matters and cut the rest away cleanly - without having to learn an editing program.
As soon as you upload your video, its length is detected automatically and you get a preview. Two sliders with additional fine input let you set the start and end time. Both can be set to within a tenth of a second, and the selected duration is shown at all times. So you always know how long your trimmed video will be.
The cut itself runs server-side with a professional video tool. That matters because a clean cut needs computing power - on the server it is fast while your device stays quiet and the battery does not suffer. Files up to 500 MB are processed reliably, so longer recordings work too, ones that pure browser solutions fail on. The result keeps the format of your source file.
After the cut you see the trimmed video directly in a preview and get a comparison: original size and original length are set against the trimmed size and duration. So you notice right away whether the section lands well. Happy with it? Download the video or file it in your archive with one click.
The Video Trimmer differs from the Video Compressor: this is not about making the file smaller but about shortening it in time. If the trimmed video is still too big to send, you combine the two - trim first, then compress. Both tools sit right next to each other.
Your file is processed only for the trim and not stored permanently. No account, no email, no watermark. Whether holiday video, screen recording, or phone clip - the Video Trimmer quickly brings any recording down to where it should begin and end.

Who needs this
Frequently asked questions
Can I cut out a middle section too?
The Video Trimmer keeps the range between the start and end time you set and cuts away the beginning and end. For a middle section, set start and end accordingly.
Does trimming reduce quality?
The cut runs server-side and as precisely as possible, without unnecessary re-encoding. The picture quality of your section stays as close as possible to the original.
Which video formats can I trim?
All common formats such as MP4, WebM, MOV, AVI, and MKV up to 500 MB are accepted. The result keeps the format of the source file.
What is the difference from the Video Compressor?
The Video Trimmer shortens the video in time; the Video Compressor reduces the file size. If your trimmed video is still too big, you can use both tools one after another.
Is my file stored?
No. Your file is processed only for the cut and not kept permanently. You download the result or file it in your archive.
