The video trimmer you edit like a doc

Your video arrives with its transcript. Delete a sentence and the footage goes with it. The ums and the dead air come pre-highlighted, and one click clears the lot.

Chunked, ledgered, resumable

Your upload survives a dropped connection

Every file is sliced into small chunks on your device before anything moves. Both sides keep a ledger of which chunks have landed.

Close the laptop at chunk 214 and the upload resumes tomorrow at chunk 215. The same ledger runs in reverse for downloads, so a broken export picks up where it stopped instead of sending you back to zero.

Other trimmers make you re-upload the whole file after a hiccup. On hotel wifi with a 2 GB screen recording, that difference is your afternoon.

Version one, ready now

The ums remove themselves

The speech editor scans every clip for filler words and stretches of silence. Each one arrives highlighted. Strike them out one by one, or clear the whole lot in a single pass.

transcript · take_03.mp4 So the thing about resumable uploads is that um, they save you when the network fails. Wait, let me start that again. Chunked uploads mean a dropped connection costs you seconds, and never the whole file. You know, once you have the ledger, downloads get the same safety for free.

Podcasters and course makers spend hours scrubbing a timeline to find one flubbed sentence. Reading is faster than scrubbing.

Delete text, and the cut updates instantly. Export when the page reads the way you want the video to sound.

Questions people type into Google

Straight answers

Is this video trimmer really free?

The free tier covers 5 minutes of video processing a day, with no watermark and no account for your first clip. Rendering and transcription run on real servers we pay for, so heavier use sits on the paid plan. What we won't do is stamp your footage or hide the limit until after you've uploaded.

How does editing video by editing text work?

When your clip lands we transcribe it and line every word up with its timestamp. Deleting text marks the matching stretch of footage as cut, and the export renders only what's left. The preview updates as you type.

Can it remove filler words and pauses automatically?

Yes. The speech editor highlights filler words and any silence longer than a second. One button strikes them all, and you can un-strike any you'd rather keep before exporting.

Does trimmer.video put a watermark on my video?

Never, on any plan. A watermark on your footage is an ad for us that you paid for with your upload. We'd rather you came back because the tool worked.

What happens if my connection drops during upload?

The upload pauses and resumes from the last confirmed chunk, even after you close the tab and come back the next day. Downloads resume the same way.

How do I trim a video online?

Drop the file on this page, then either drag the in and out handles or just delete the sentences you don't want. Press export and the clip downloads in the same format you uploaded, or pick a different one.

Which formats can I trim?

MP4, MOV, WEBM and AVI cover almost everything phones and screen recorders produce. Anything else gets converted on the way in.

Is my video private?

Your file is visible to you alone, transferred encrypted, and deleted from our storage on the schedule you pick. We don't train models on it and we don't watch it.

Can I trim a video for YouTube, TikTok or Reels?

Yes. Presets set the right aspect ratio and resolution for each platform, and the 9:16 presets show safe zones so captions don't hide behind the UI.
