Ways to pay less
  • One flat price of 20 credits for any clip up to 10 minutes, however much or little you keep.
  • Trimming before a per-minute tool saves credits there: Caption Generator charges 15 credits per started minute, so cutting a 2:10 clip to 2:00 saves 15 credits.

What is an online video trimmer?

Trim Video is a tool that cuts a video down to the part you choose and saves that part as a new MP4. After you upload the clip, a slider with a start handle and an end handle appears; the page shows the start time, the end time and how many seconds you keep. Everything before the start and after the end is removed. It works on MP4, MOV and WEBM files up to 10 minutes, runs in the cloud and costs one flat 20 credits.

How to use Trim Video in 3 steps

  1. Upload the video you want to trim

    Choose an MP4, MOV or WEBM file up to 200 MB and 10 minutes. The slider appears once the upload has finished, set to the clip's full length.

  2. Drag the start and end handles

    Move the left handle to where the clip should begin and the right handle to where it should end. Check the Start, End and Keeps readout to confirm the exact range.

  3. Trim the video and download

    Press Trim video. The part you kept is saved in My Videos as an MP4, ready to download, post or use in another tool.

What Trim Video does

A start and end slider sized to your video

The slider covers the full length of the clip you uploaded and moves in tenths of a second. As you drag, the readout shows the start, the end and the length you keep, such as Keeps 14.5 s.

Cut the start, the end or both

Drag only the start handle to cut a slow opening, only the end handle to drop the moment you fumbled for the stop button, or both to pull one scene out of the middle.

Keeps the sound with the picture

The part you keep is cut from the original file as one piece, so the audio stays in step with the picture.

Any part from half a second up

The handles can't cross, and the shortest part you can keep is 0.5 seconds. Short reaction beats, a single jump or a three-second hook are all fine.

Runs in the cloud, works on a phone

The cut happens on our side, not on your device. Pick the clip from your camera roll, set the handles with your thumb and download the trimmed MP4 from My Videos.

Comparison

Why use Trim Video instead of trimming in a desktop editor?

Cutting the ends off one clip shouldn't need a project and an export. Drag two handles and get the part you want back.

What you can make with it

Cut the dead time off a phone recording

Most phone clips start with a second of the camera wobbling into place and end with a hand reaching for the screen. Trimming both ends makes the clip feel finished.

  • Watch the clip once and note the second where the action starts and stops.
  • Drag the start handle just before the action and the end handle just after it.
  • Leave a few tenths of a second on each side so the first and last words aren't clipped.

Pull a short highlight out of a longer video

A 6-minute rehearsal or match has one 20-second moment worth sharing. Trim to that moment and post the highlight on its own.

  • Find the moment in your player and write down its start and end time.
  • Set both handles to that range; the Keeps readout should show about 20 seconds.
  • Reframe the trimmed clip for TikTok, Reels or Shorts with Resize Video.
  • Add a caption track with Caption Generator so it works with the sound off.

Shorten a clip before a per-minute tool

Some tools on the site charge per started minute. Trimming a clip down first means you only pay for the part you need.

  • Caption Generator is 15 credits per started minute: a 3:40 interview costs 60 credits, but trimmed to the 1:50 you need it costs 30.
  • Cut the silent intro and outro before running Video to Text so the transcript starts with the first word.
  • Trim to the exact range before Loop Video, so the loop point lands where you want it.

Who it's for

Short-form creators

Cut a long take down to a tight hook and payoff before posting to TikTok, Reels or Shorts.

Parents and families

Keep the 30 seconds of the school play where your child is on stage and drop the rest before sending it to relatives.

Podcasters and interviewers

Pull one strong answer out of a recorded conversation to share as a teaser clip.

Teachers and trainers

Cut a recorded demo down to the steps students need, without the setup before it and the chat after it.

Tips for the best result

  • Leave a few tenths of a second before the first word and after the last one; a cut right on a word sounds abrupt.
  • Use the Start and End readout, not only the handle position, when you need an exact range.
  • To keep two separate parts of one video, trim each one in its own job, then join them with Merge Videos.
  • Trim before other edits like captions, text or a watermark, so they are placed on the final cut.
  • Long 4K phone clips can pass 200 MB; export at 1080p on the phone first if the upload is refused.

20 credits per trim, for any video up to 10 minutes.
