How to trim a video online

Trimming removes the parts you do not need, such as a slow start or an awkward ending, and makes the file smaller too.

Step by step

1. Open the Trim Video tool and choose your video.
2. Enter Start (seconds), the moment the clip should begin.
3. Enter End (seconds). Leave it empty to keep everything until the end.
4. Press Start, then Download the trimmed video.

Working out the times

Play your video in any player and note the second where the part you want begins and ends. For example, to keep the part from 1 minute 10 seconds to 1 minute 45 seconds, enter 70 as the start and 105 as the end.

After you choose the file, the box shows its length, so you can check your numbers against the total.

What to expect

Styluscraft re-encodes the video, so the file size can change a little and the processing time depends on your device. Very long or very large videos can be slow on phones.

Tips

• Trim first, then compress. A shorter video compresses to a much better quality.
• Write the times down in seconds before you start.
• If the result is not right, adjust the numbers and run it again. The original file is never changed.
