How to cut audio or video

- Preview the cut, choose the format and download it.
Cut without losing quality
For MP4, MOV, M4A, 3GP, MP3, AAC and WAV the cut is copied straight out of your file, without re-encoding: the same quality, the same format, in seconds, even for long videos. A video is cut from the key frame just before the start you choose, with the exact start set for players. Other formats (WebM, MKV, OGG, FLAC) are re-recorded by your browser as the cut plays, or saved as WAV, Opus or AAC sound.
Exact start and end
Drag the two handles, type the times (1:05.5 or 65.5), or play and press [ and ] where the part should start and end. Preview the cut before you save it.
Questions
Is my file uploaded?
No. The file is opened by your browser and cut on your computer. Nothing is sent anywhere.
Does cutting lower the quality?
Not for MP4, MOV, M4A, 3GP, MP3, AAC or WAV: the part is copied without re-encoding. Re-recording and the WAV, Opus and AAC options make a new file.
How big can the file be?
As big as your browser can open, usually several gigabytes for a lossless cut. The waveform is drawn for files up to 300 MB.
Can I cut a video on my phone?
Yes, in a recent Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari. Long re-recordings are better on a computer.
