Keeping 0:00.00
Free, no watermark, no account. Videos up to 2 GB.
Three steps and a few seconds, with nothing to install and no account to make. It works in your browser, on a computer or a phone.
Drop a file on the page, or pick one from your phone's videos. MP4, MOV, WebM and MKV all work.
Drag the edges, or play to the moment you want and press Set start or Set end. Step a frame at a time to get it exact.
It's saved in seconds, in the same format and quality as the original, with the original's name: holiday.mov becomes holiday_ohsovideo.mov.
Cut the awkward start and end. The first seconds of a recording are usually dead air, a shaky grab for the camera or someone asking whether it's recording, and the last few are the same in reverse. Taking them off makes a clip look deliberate.
Cut out the dead air. Long pauses, a loading screen, a stretch where nothing happens: they lose people. Trimming keeps the pace up and the attention where you want it.
Fit where it's going. Shorts, Reels and TikTok each cap how long a clip can be (see the platform size limits), and shorter ones tend to travel further anyway. Trimming first leaves the choice with you rather than the platform.
Make the file smaller. Half the video is about half the size, with nothing re-encoded. If it still has to be smaller for an email or a chat app, compress video afterwards.
Pull one moment out of a long recording. The three-minute answer in an hour-long webinar, or a single highlight: set the two edges and export just that part.
Drop your video on this page, drag the edges of the timeline to the part you want to keep, and press Export. There's no account, no payment and no watermark, and it works in any up-to-date browser.
No. The picture and sound are copied exactly as they are, never re-encoded, so the clip looks and sounds the same as the original. That's also why it only takes seconds.
Not here. Your browser reads the video and writes the trimmed clip itself, on your device, and nothing is uploaded. Personal footage, a confidential screen recording or anything else stays with you.
Yes. The edges always settle between two frames, and you can step one frame at a time with the arrow buttons, or the arrow keys on a computer, so the clip starts and ends on the frames you choose. The one exception is WebM and MKV videos: there the start snaps to the nearest keyframe (a whole picture the video can begin from), while the end can still go on any frame.
Trimming moves where a clip begins and ends: everything outside those two edges goes. Cutting usually means splitting a video somewhere in the middle. This tool trims, so to drop a piece out of the middle, export the part before it and the part after it one after the other.
MP4, MOV, WebM and MKV, including ProRes, Apple's editing format for stock footage and editor exports. Only Safari plays ProRes itself, so in Chrome and Firefox the trimmer decodes it on your device to show you where to cut, and the clip is still copied in ProRes, untouched. The clip is saved in the same format as the original, so a video from an iPhone stays a MOV.
Yes. It's an ordinary video file in the original's format, so Instagram, TikTok and YouTube take it, and Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro and CapCut open it like any other clip.
Yes. It all happens on this page, in your browser, on Windows, a Mac, an iPhone or an Android phone. There's nothing to install and no plug-in to add.
Open this page in Safari on an iPhone or Chrome on Android. It works the same way: choose your video, drag the edges, and export. On a touch screen each timestamp also takes a tap anywhere in its row.
No, never. What you save is the part of your video you kept, with nothing added to it.
Yes, roughly in proportion: half the video is about half the size, since nothing is re-encoded. If it still has to be smaller for email or a chat app, compress it afterwards with the Compress video tool.
Videos can be up to 2 GB, because the clip is written alongside the original on your device. Long videos trim as quickly as short ones, because nothing is re-encoded.
Your video's name with _ohsovideo added, such as holiday_ohsovideo.mp4, so it sits next to the original. The original is never changed.
