Trim a video without re-encoding or uploading it

A video frame almost never decodes on its own: out of a thousand, only about twenty are keyframes. Cutting anywhere else would give a grey opening. So we cut at the key, and tell you by how much.

What this tool does

What it does not do: The cut does not land on the millisecond: it lands on the preceding keyframe, almost always less than two seconds away. Cutting exactly would mean re-encoding the beginning, therefore degrading it and waiting. We would rather say so. MP4, M4V and MOV files are read; MKV, AVI and WebM are not.

Nothing is uploaded. Cut your network connection once this page has loaded: the tool keeps working. How to check it yourself.
