Shorten video
Export only the selected time range.
Your selected video is processed in this browser tab. It is not uploaded to a conversion server.
Ready.
Shortening can beat compression
If a video is too large, cutting out unused time can reduce size more cleanly than heavy compression.
Best settings and limits
Best first try
Start with the exact section you need. For example, 3 to 18 exports a 15-second clip.
When this may fail
The output is re-encoded as MP4. Large source videos can still be slow in a browser.
Privacy boundary
The selected video file stays on your device while the tool creates the output.
Frequently asked questions
Is shortening the same as compressing?
No. Shortening removes time from the video; compression lowers encoding size.
Will my video upload?
No. The selected file is processed in this browser tab.
Can I also make the shorter video smaller?
Yes. After trimming, use the video compressor on the shorter output.
