About this tool
Most quick video jobs need a few steps: cut out the part you want, make the file small enough to send, turn it into the vertical 9:16 of Reels, TikTok and Status, fix a quiet sound, then save it in a format that plays everywhere. Here they are tabs of the same editor, so you open the file once and export it once. Drag the two handles on the timeline (it shows frames of the video, or the waveform of an audio file) or play and mark the start and end. Compress to a goal — WhatsApp 16 MB, e-mail 25 MB, Discord 10 MB or any size in MB — or by quality, and see the expected size before you export. Lower the resolution to 1080p, 720p or 480p, change the frame to 9:16, 1:1, 4:5 or 16:9 (filling it or keeping the whole picture with bars), rotate, mirror and change the speed. Keep, remove or keep only the sound, raise the volume or normalize it. Save as MP4, WebM, MOV, MKV or an animated GIF, or as MP3, M4A, WAV, OGG, FLAC or AAC. Everything happens in your browser with its own video engine (WebCodecs): the file never leaves your device, and big videos can be written straight to a file on your computer.

Frequently asked questions
Is the video editor really free?
Yes. There is no sign-up, no watermark and no limit on the number of files. It runs in your browser, so there is no server cost per video.
Is my video uploaded?
No. The file is read, cut and encoded by your browser; it never leaves your device. Only a direct link you paste is downloaded by your browser from that site.
How do I make a video small enough for WhatsApp?
In Compress choose WhatsApp (16 MB). The editor sets the video bitrate so the length of your cut fits. If the goal is too small for a long video, cut it shorter or choose 720p or 480p in Size & frame — a lower resolution stays sharper at small sizes.
How do I turn a horizontal video into a vertical one for Reels, TikTok or Status?
In Size & frame choose 9:16. Fill cuts the sides and keeps the centre of the picture; Whole picture keeps everything and adds black bars above and below.
Does cutting lose quality?
When you only cut and keep the format, the video is copied without re-encoding, which is fast and lossless; the cut then starts at the nearest key frame. Changing the size, frame, speed or compression re-encodes the picture.
Can I download videos from YouTube, Instagram or TikTok?
No. Their terms do not allow downloading, so those links are refused. Save your own videos with the download button of each app, then open the file here. Direct links to a media file (ending in .mp4, .mp3, .webm…) work when the other site allows it.
