About the Video Trimmer

The Video Trimmer cuts a section out of a video by start and end time, copying the streams so there is no quality loss and no re-encoding wait. It runs as plain JavaScript inside the page, which means there is no upload step, no queue and no size limit imposed by a server — the only limit is your own device.

What people use it for

  • Cutting the dead air off the start of a screen recording.
  • Pulling one clip out of a long take.
  • Shortening a video to fit a platform limit.
The first tool you run downloads the 31 MB WebAssembly engine once; after that it starts instantly. Processing speed depends on your own machine — a browser build is several times slower than desktop FFmpeg, so a long 4K file will take a while. The trade is that nothing is uploaded and nothing is queued behind other people.

Frequently asked questions

Does trimming lose quality?
No. The streams are copied rather than re-encoded, which is why it finishes in seconds. The only catch is that cuts land on the nearest keyframe, so the start can be off by a fraction of a second — for frame-exact cuts you need a re-encode, which a video editor does better.
Is my video uploaded to a server?
No. FFmpeg is compiled to WebAssembly and runs inside this browser tab, on your own processor. You can watch the Network tab while it works — no request carries your file. That is also why there is no queue, no size cap set by us and no watermark.
Why is the first run slow to start?
It downloads the 31 MB engine once. Your browser caches it, so every later run on this site starts immediately. The processing itself is unaffected.
How big a file can I use?
There is no limit we impose — the ceiling is how much memory your browser will hand the tab, typically 2–4 GB on desktop and much less on a phone. If a very large file fails, try trimming it first or use a lower output resolution.
Why is it slower than a desktop program?
WebAssembly runs at roughly half to a third of native speed, and this build is single-threaded because the multi-threaded one needs security headers that would break other parts of the site. For a short clip the difference is seconds; for a feature-length 4K file, use a desktop tool.
Do I need an account to use the Video Trimmer?
No charge and no sign-up. There is no free tier to run out of because there is no paid tier — inputtesthub.com is funded by advertising rather than by metering the utility.
Does anything I enter leave my computer?
No. The Video Trimmer runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Nothing is transmitted, logged or stored, which you can verify yourself in the Network tab of your browser's developer tools.
Who is the Video Trimmer for?
In practice it gets used for three things: cutting the dead air off the start of a screen recording. Pulling one clip out of a long take. Shortening a video to fit a platform limit. It is built for exactly those cases rather than being a general-purpose tool with this bolted on.
What do people usually get wrong here?
The first tool you run downloads the 31 MB WebAssembly engine once; after that it starts instantly. Processing speed depends on your own machine — a browser build is several times slower than desktop FFmpeg, so a long 4K file will take a while. The trade is that nothing is uploaded and nothing is queued behind other people.
Will a big file be rejected?
There is no limit set by us, because your file is never uploaded — the only ceiling is the memory your own browser will give the tab. Very large files simply take longer to process, and a phone will give up sooner than a desktop.
