Complete guide

Input

How it's calculated & sources

Method: ffmpeg (compiled to WebAssembly, served from this site) cuts your clip with -ss/-t. Fast copy keeps the original quality and finishes in seconds by cutting at keyframes; Frame-exact re-encodes to H.264 for a precise cut. The video never leaves your device.

Free & no sign-up · runs entirely in your browser. Results are estimates for general information, not professional advice — verify important decisions with a qualified expert. Last reviewed June 2026.

Frequently asked questions

Why does Fast copy start slightly before my time?+

Fast copy can only cut where the video has a keyframe — usually every 1-2 seconds. If the exact frame matters, use Frame-exact mode, which re-encodes precisely at the cost of speed.

What time formats work?+

Seconds (90), minutes:seconds (1:30), or hours:minutes:seconds (0:01:30). Leave the end field empty to keep everything after the start time.

Does trimming lose quality?+

Fast copy loses nothing — the frames are copied bit-for-bit. Frame-exact re-encodes at high quality (CRF 23), which is visually lossless for most videos.

Is my video uploaded?+

No. The trimmer runs entirely in your browser from this site's own domain. Nothing is sent anywhere.

I built a free video compressor that works instantly in the browser — no signup, no ads in your face
Body
Hey r/[subreddit],

I kept needing a quick video compressor and most options online were slow or behind paywalls, so I built one that:

• Runs 100% in your browser (your data never leaves your device)
• No signup, no email wall, no popups
• Loads in under a second on mobile

It covers the standard video compressor use cases (compress video, video compressor online, reduce video size, shrink mp4) and links out to the formula + worked examples if you want to learn the math.
