Why cut a video here

Keep just the part you need

Give a start time, an end time, or only one of the two. With just a start time the cut runs to the end of the video, and with just an end time it begins at the very start.

Or split it into parts

Cut a new piece every few seconds or minutes, or divide the whole video into a set number of equally long parts. Each part comes back as its own file.

Nothing to install

The cut runs on our servers over an encrypted connection. There is no software to download and no account needed to use it.

Two ways to cut a video

Cutting keeps one stretch of the video and drops the rest. The times are written as hours, minutes and seconds, so 00:02:23 means 2 minutes and 23 seconds, and only what lies between your start and your end comes back.

Splitting keeps everything and divides it instead. Choose a length and a new piece starts every few seconds or minutes, or choose a number and the video is divided into that many parts of equal length.

A piece can be as short as one second and as long as four hours, and a video can be divided into 2 to 480 parts. Each part is returned as a separate file, so nothing has to be pulled apart afterwards.

The video will be cut at keyframes, so the cut may happen at a slightly different position.

What you can upload

MP4 is what most people bring and it is far from the only format that works. MOV from an iPhone, AVI, WEBM, MKV, WMV, FLV and the rest are all cut the same way, and you can add several videos at once. Each one is cut with the setting you chose and comes back on its own.

The pieces keep the format of the video you uploaded, so they play wherever the original played and nothing is re-encoded for the sake of it.

You can also paste a link instead of uploading, or pull the file in from cloud storage.

Free to use, and private by default

Cutting a video is free and needs no account. Every upload and download runs over an encrypted connection, so your footage cannot be read on the way.

Processing is fully automated: nobody watches your videos and they are never used to train AI models. You keep the copyright and the ownership of both the video you upload and the one you get back.

The servers that do the work are in Europe.

Questions about cutting video

How do I enter a start and an end time?

Both fields take hours, minutes and seconds, so 00:02:23 is 2 minutes and 23 seconds. One of the two is enough: with only a start time the cut runs to the end of the video, and with only an end time it begins at the very start.

Why does the cut land slightly off the time I set?

A video is stored in blocks that each begin with a keyframe, and a cut can only be made at one of those. The result is the keyframe nearest to the time you asked for, which is normally a fraction of a second away.

Can I split a video into equal parts?

Yes. Choose splitting and then either a length, which starts a new piece every few seconds or minutes, or a number of parts, which divides the video into that many pieces of the same length.

How many parts can I get?

From 2 up to 480 parts, or a piece length from one second up to four hours. Every part is returned as its own file rather than as one long video you have to cut again.

Can I cut several videos at once?

Yes. Add as many as you like and each is cut separately with the same setting, then returned as its own file.

Does it cost anything?

No. Cutting a video here is free and does not require an account. A paid plan raises the upload limit and how many files you can process at once.
