🎬 Video Trimmer & Compressor

Cut a clip down and shrink the file size — all processing happens on your device, nothing is uploaded anywhere. Free, no account needed.

First use downloads a ~30MB video engine (one time, then cached by your browser). Processing runs entirely on your device's CPU, so it's slower than a phone app — a short clip usually takes well under a minute, longer ones more.

About this tool

Trim a clip and shrink its file size without installing anything and without uploading your footage. The Video Trimmer & Compressor runs FFmpeg in your browser via WebAssembly, so your video is processed on your own device — ideal for private recordings, unreleased game footage or anything you do not want on a random server.

Cut the start and end, pick a target quality or size, and export an MP4 that plays everywhere. It is the quickest way to turn a two-minute screen recording into a ten-second GIF-sized clip for a Discord post, a bug report or a store page.

How to use it

  1. Drop a video file onto the page (MP4, WebM, MOV and most common formats).
  2. Set the start and end points for the trim.
  3. Choose a compression level or target resolution.
  4. Click process, wait for the progress bar, and download the result.

Frequently asked questions

Is my video uploaded?

No. FFmpeg runs inside your browser as WebAssembly. The file stays on your device the whole time; you can even disconnect from the internet after the page has loaded.

Why is processing slow on big files?

Encoding happens on your CPU through WebAssembly, which is slower than a native install. For long 4K clips, trim first, then compress — or reduce the resolution.

Which output format do I get?

MP4 (H.264 + AAC), the most compatible format for web, Discord, Slack and social media.

Is there a file size limit?

Practically it depends on your device's memory. Files up to a few hundred megabytes work on a normal laptop.
