Trim Video

Trim video files online into custom MP4 clips by specifying start time and duration.

Run tool

Trim Video lets you cut a specific segment from a video file by setting an exact start time and clip duration. Upload your video file directly up to the 50 megabyte input limit and configure where the clip should begin. The start time accepts values from 0 up to 86,400 seconds, with a default starting point at 0 seconds. The duration field controls how long the extracted clip runs, supporting values from 0.1 seconds up to 300 seconds, defaulting to 10 seconds. After you click Run, the result panel shows the extracted segment as a fresh MP4 video file ready for download or review. If a requested start time or duration falls outside the allowable ranges, the values automatically clamp to the nearest valid limits. This utility helps you isolate highlights, trim unnecessary introductions, or extract short clips quickly.

  1. Select and upload your source video file up to 50 MB.
  2. Enter the start time in seconds where you want the clip to begin.
  3. Specify the clip duration in seconds between 0.1 and 300 seconds.
  4. Click Run to start trimming.
  5. Download or review the generated MP4 clip from the result area.

Examples
