Cut the part you actually need

A 20-minute recording where the useful part is 40 seconds; a phone clip with fumbling at both ends — trimming is the most common edit there is, and it shouldn’t require installing an editor. Enter a start and end time and get just that section.

Trimming here is lossless: the video is cut without re-encoding, so it completes in seconds regardless of length and the quality is byte-for-byte identical to the original.

How to trim a video

Drop a video above, enter start and end times (in seconds, or mm:ss), and press Trim. The first use downloads the engine (~31 MB, cached afterwards); the cut itself is nearly instant because nothing is re-encoded.

Unlike most online converters, FileLark never uploads your files to a server. The conversion runs entirely inside your browser using modern web technology, which means it works offline once the page has loaded, there are no file size queues or daily upload limits, and your images can never be stored, scanned, or leaked — they simply never leave your device.

One technical note

Lossless cutting can only start at a keyframe, so the actual start may land up to a couple of seconds before the time you enter (never after — you won’t lose content). For frame-exact cuts, trim slightly wide here, or run the clip through the video compressor afterwards, which re-encodes and snaps the boundaries precisely.

Frequently asked questions

How do I cut a section from a video?

Drop the video above, enter the start and end times (seconds or mm:ss), and press Trim. The cut section downloads as an MP4 almost instantly.

Is this tool really free?

Yes — completely free, with no sign-up, no watermarks, and no daily limits. The site is supported by ads, and because conversions run in your browser rather than on our servers, there are no processing costs to pass on to you.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. All conversion happens locally in your browser using the Canvas API and WebAssembly. Your files never leave your device, which makes this tool safe for private photos and confidential documents.

Does trimming reduce quality?

No — the video is cut without re-encoding (stream copy), so the output is byte-for-byte the same quality as the original, and even hour-long files trim in seconds.

Why doesn’t the clip start exactly where I asked?

Lossless cutting must start at a keyframe, so the start can land up to a couple of seconds early (never late). Trim slightly wide, or re-encode with the video compressor for frame-exact boundaries.
