About Trim video

Trim video cuts a clip down to the part you want: set a start and an end, preview, and export only that section. It takes MP4, WebM and MOV up to 5 GB, trims one clip or a batch each to its own range, and runs in your browser on your own device, so the video is never uploaded.

  • Cut a clip for Instagram or Shorts
  • Remove the start of a recording
  • Share one moment from a long video

How to trim video

  1. Drop the video

    MP4, WebM or MOV. Several videos open a batch editor.

  2. Set the start and end

    Drag the handles or type the times, and preview the cut.

  3. Export

    Save the trimmed clip to your device.

Why your file never leaves your device

Most online tools upload your file to a server, work on it there, and keep a copy for a while. Thryve Media does the work inside your browser instead, with code that runs on your own device, so there is no upload, no copy on a server and nothing to delete afterwards. Close the tab and the file is gone from memory. It also means the tools keep working on a slow connection once the page has loaded.

Questions, answered

Will trimming reduce the quality?
The clip is saved afresh on your device at a quality very close to the original. Large or long videos take longer because all the work happens on your own device.
Can I trim several videos at once?
Yes. Drop them together; each gets its own start and end, and they export together.
Is my file uploaded to a server?
No. The file is opened and processed inside your browser tab, on your own device, and the result is saved straight back to it. Thryve has no server that receives files.
Is it free?
Yes. This page gives 10 free exports every rolling 30 days, with no account. Thryve Pro, $9.99 once with no subscription, removes the limit on every Thryve PDF, Photo, Media and Invoice page.
Do I need to sign up?
No. Drop a file and start. An account is only needed to buy Thryve Pro, so the licence can follow you between devices.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes, in Chrome, Safari, Edge or Firefox on Android and iPhone, as well as on Windows, Mac and Linux. Since the work happens on the device, a large file takes longer on a phone than on a laptop.
