How to trim a video online in 10 seconds

Trimming is the most common video edit of all — cutting a conference call intro, removing the awkward silence before a clip, or shortening a video for social. And it doesn't need to re-encode your file.

Lossless trimming — what it means

When you trim without re-encoding, the video quality stays pixel-identical. Our Video Trimmer copies the original streams and just cuts the timeline — fast and lossless.

How to trim

• Upload your video
• Set the start time and end time (you can type exact decimals like 12.5)
• Hit Trim — your cropped clip downloads instantly

Use cases

• Remove the first 3 seconds of a screen recording
• Cut a speech to just the key quote
• Shorten a clip to 60s for social platforms

After trimming, compress the result with the Video Compressor if you're sending it through messaging apps.
