Trimming is the most common video editing task. You recorded a 3-minute clip but only need 30 seconds. A screen recording has dead time at the start and end. A meeting recording needs the first 5 minutes removed. For these tasks, you do not need a full video editor — you need a trimmer.
Processing happens entirely on your device. The video is not uploaded anywhere.
If you need to both trim and compress a video (for example, cutting a clip for Discord), always trim first. Removing unnecessary footage reduces the total data, so the compressor has less to work with and can preserve more quality in the remaining frames.
The trimmer works with MP4, WebM, AVI, MOV, and other common video formats. Output is saved in the same format as the input by default, preserving codec compatibility.
