How to Trim a Video Online

1. 1

   Select your video

   Drop your video file or click to browse. MP4, WebM, MOV, AVI, and MKV are all supported.

2. 2

   Set the start and end time

   Use the controls to select the exact portion of the video you want to keep.

3. 3

   Choose Fast or Precise mode

   Fast mode is nearly instant but cuts at the nearest clean point. Precise mode reprocesses the video for frame-accurate cuts.

4. 4

   Download your trimmed clip

   Click "Trim Video" and download your clip when processing is complete. Everything runs locally — no upload needed.

Fast vs Precise Mode

Fast mode copies the video stream without reprocessing. It's nearly instant but may not cut at the exact frame you selected — the cut happens at the nearest clean cut point.

Precise mode reprocesses the video, which takes longer but cuts at the exact frame. Use this when frame-accurate trimming matters.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is my video uploaded to a server?

No. Clipiv processes your video entirely in your browser. Your files never leave your device.

What's the maximum file size?

We recommend files under 500 MB for best performance. Files up to 1 GB are supported but may be slower. Larger files are blocked due to browser memory limits. If file size is your concern, try the Video Compressor to reduce it first.

What video formats are supported?

MP4, WebM, MOV, AVI, and MKV files are supported. MP4 with H.264 encoding works best.
