Online Video Cutter

Cut videos online free — no install, no watermark. Set timestamps in your browser and download a clean clip.

Use the tool

Intro

Need to cut a video online without downloading software? VideoComposer lets you paste a video URL or upload a file, set start and end times, and get a clean MP4 clip in minutes — all from your browser. No signup required for basic use.

The online video cutter works for quick highlights, short demos, and any situation where you only need part of a recording. Upload or paste a direct URL, set your timestamps, and the tool handles the rest.

Every cut produces a standalone MP4 file you can share, upload, or use in downstream workflows. The output is clean with no watermarks, logos, or added branding — even on the free tier.

For teams cutting many clips from recorded meetings, webinars, or product demos, the API provides the same cutting workflow programmatically. Submit timestamps as API parameters and retrieve download URLs without manual steps.

Cuts are keyframe-aligned for speed. This keeps quality high and processing fast, though the cut may land slightly before or after an exact frame boundary. Small timestamp adjustments are usually enough for precise results.

How it works

  1. Upload a video file or paste a direct video URL into the tool.
  2. Set the start and end times for the segment you want to keep.
  3. Submit the job and download the clean MP4 clip when it is ready.

Use cases

  • Cut highlights from webinars, meetings, or long recordings.
  • Extract a short clip for social media posts or product updates.
  • Create a focused segment for support tickets or bug reports.
  • Prepare a clip before converting to GIF or adding a watermark.
  • Reduce a long demo video to the key moment you want to share.

Formats and limits

  • Inputs: MP4 and WebM supported in the browser tool.
  • Output: MP4.
  • Cuts are keyframe-aligned for fast results; frame-perfect timing may vary slightly.
  • Anonymous usage is rate limited to 5 jobs per day; sign in for more.
  • For other input formats, convert to MP4 or WebM first.

After processing

When your online video cutter job completes, you will receive a downloadable output URL. You can save the result locally, share it with a teammate, or feed it into another tool such as the trimmer or converter. For repeatable workflows, use the API to store outputs in your own system and automate the next step.

Tips

  • Use a video player to find exact timestamps before setting start and end times.
  • If the cut feels slightly off, adjust the timestamp by one second and retry.
  • Keep clips short for faster processing and easier sharing.
  • For multiple clips from one file, repeat the process or switch to the API.
  • Store a copy of the original in case you need a different segment later.
  • Paste a direct video URL to avoid slow browser uploads.

Deep dive

Keyframe-aligned cuts preserve the original encoding quality and process faster than re-encoding the full clip. For most use cases, the small keyframe offset is not noticeable.

If you are working from a transcript or meeting recording, write down the exact timestamps before opening the cutter. This reduces back-and-forth and produces clean results on the first try.

For repeated workflows — cutting the same intro or outro from many recordings — the API is more efficient than manual browser uploads. You can script the timestamps and process a batch of files without any manual steps.

Workflow checklist

  • Find your start and end times using a video player before cutting.
  • Use a direct URL instead of uploading for faster submission.
  • Verify the output length matches the intended segment.
  • Keep the original file in case you need a different cut later.

FAQ

Can I cut a video online without installing software?

Yes. The online video cutter works entirely in your browser. Upload a file or paste a direct URL, set start and end times, and download the clip — no software installation needed.

Is the online video cutter free?

Yes. Anonymous users get 5 free jobs per day across all tools. Sign in for higher daily limits and priority processing.

Will the output have a watermark?

No. VideoComposer never adds watermarks, logos, or branding to your output clips — not even on the free tier. The result is a clean, ready-to-use MP4.

What video formats can I cut online?

The browser tool accepts MP4 and WebM. If your source is in another format such as MOV or AVI, convert it to MP4 first.

Why is my cut slightly early or late?

Fast cuts align to keyframes for speed and quality, which can shift the result by a fraction of a second. Adjust the start or end time slightly and try again.

Can I cut multiple clips from one video?

The browser tool creates one clip per job. For multiple clips, repeat the process or automate via the API with a script.

Can I cut videos on mobile?

Yes. The tool works in modern mobile browsers. Use Wi-Fi for large file uploads.

Can I automate video cutting with an API?

Yes. The API supports the same start and end timestamp parameters. Submit jobs programmatically and track outputs by job ID.

Automate video cutting with the API

For recurring cut workflows, the API removes manual browser steps. Submit start and end timestamps programmatically and retrieve clean MP4 clips by job ID.

This is ideal for teams processing many recordings at once — webinar highlight extraction, meeting clip archives, or content repurposing pipelines.

Chain the cutter with the converter or watermark tool in a single pipeline to standardize and brand clips without any manual work.

  • POST /video/trim with start and end timestamps
  • GET /jobs/:id for status and output URL
  • Use webhooks for completion callbacks
