YouTube Video Trimmer
Trim any YouTube video or uploaded clip right in your browser — no watermark, no signup, no upload to a server.
Paste any YouTube link, pick your start and end on the player, then trim. We fetch and cut just that section for you.
Need just one moment from a long YouTube video? This free YouTube trimmer lets you grab exactly the part you want — a highlight, a quote, a clip for social — without installing software, creating an account, or slapping a watermark on your video.
Paste a YouTube link or drop in your own file, scrub to the exact start and end, preview instantly, and download a clean MP4 in seconds. Everything runs right in your browser using WebAssembly, so uploaded files stay private on your device and trims are fast even on modest laptops.

Common ways to use it

Supported formats & limitations
The trimmer handles most common video formats, including MP4, WebM, and MOV, and exports MP4. Because the work happens in your browser's memory, very large files (over ~400MB) may be slow or run out of memory — for long videos, trim shorter sections at a time. Fast lossless cuts snap to the nearest keyframe; enable "Frame-accurate" mode for an exact, re-encoded cut.
Privacy & copyright
Uploaded files are processed entirely on your device and are never uploaded to us. For YouTube links, we only fetch the stream so your browser can trim it. Only trim videos you own or have permission to use, and follow YouTube's Terms of Service and the original creator's copyright.
