Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the most common questions about trimming videos online.
What video formats does the trimmer support?
The video trimmer works with any format your browser can play, including MP4, MOV, WebM, AVI, MKV, and more. The output file retains the same format as the original.
Is my video uploaded to a server?
No. All trimming is done entirely within your browser using WebAssembly-powered FFmpeg. Your video never leaves your device.
Will re-encoding reduce the quality of my video?
No. The trimmer uses stream copying (-c copy) which cuts the video without re-encoding, preserving the original quality and making the process very fast.
Is there a file size limit?
There is no strict limit, but very large files may take longer to process and require available browser memory. We recommend files under 2 GB for best results.
