01Why this trimmer
Cut the moment, not the file.
Four reasons producers, streamers, and reps reach for this page instead of opening a desktop editor.
- 01
Frame-accurate in and out points
Set start and end on the timeline with millisecond precision. Step a frame at a time when you need the cut on a specific beat.
- 02
Waveform shows you what to keep
See the audio peaks under the timeline. Trimming around speech, music drops, or claps gets a lot easier when you can spot them visually.
- 03
FFmpeg, locally
Trims are produced by FFmpeg compiled to WebAssembly — same engine the pros use, running right inside the tab.
- 04
Footage stays on your device
Drafts, raw takes, sensitive recordings — none of it gets uploaded. Trim freely, then download just the slice you wanted.
02How it works
Three steps to the exact clip you want.

Step 1Drop the video
Drag in an MP4, MOV, WebM, MKV, AVI, or M4V up to 1 GB. The timeline and waveform appear in a second or two.

Step 2Set the in and out points
Drag the handles, scrub the playhead, or type exact timecodes. Step a frame at a time with the arrow keys when you need to be precise.

Step 3Save the trimmed clip
Click Trim and grab the result. The original is still loaded if you want a different cut — your file on disk is unchanged.
03Use cases
When part of a video is the video.
Most edits start with a long source and end with a short moment. These are the cuts people make most often.
Pull a clip out of an interview
20 minutes of conversation, one great 30-second answer. Find it, mark it, save it as a standalone MP4.
20:00 → 0:32 highlightCut a Reel or TikTok
Trim a 5-minute phone clip down to 30 seconds for a Reel without re-opening CapCut. Frame-accurate, no watermark, no app.
5:00 → 0:30 verticalDemo loop for a deck
Slice the 15-second loop you need from a longer demo. Embed it into your slide or sales page at the right size.
Full demo → 0:15 loopHighlight from a stream VOD
Twitch and YouTube VODs run for hours. Mark in and out, download the moment, share the clip without redirecting to a timestamp.
3hr VOD → 1:00 highlightLecture segment for review
Save one section of a recorded lecture as a focused clip. Easier to revise than scrubbing through a 90-minute file every time.
90:00 lecture → 8:00 segmentRemove the awkward opening
Cut the first 10 seconds of fumble at the start of a recording so the clip starts on the right beat.

04Quick tips
Land the cut cleanly.
Habits that turn a quick trim into something that doesn't need re-editing.
- 01
Use the waveform for speech
Audio peaks line up with words and emphasis. Land cuts right before a peak so the clip doesn't start mid-syllable.
- 02
Arrow keys move one frame
Tap left/right to nudge by a single frame. Hold shift for a second at a time. Faster than dragging when you need precision.
- 03
Trim first, then compress
A trim removes huge stretches of unused footage. Run the result through the video compressor for another big drop before sharing.
- 04
Type in exact timecodes
Got a script with timestamps? Type them directly into the in/out fields instead of scrubbing. Saves time on every clip.
05Loved by
Producers, streamers, and sales reps rely on it.
Cutting promo clips from interviews used to mean booting Premiere. Now I trim in the browser, attach the MP4 to the social post, move on.
Trim a 30-second highlight from a 4-hour VOD without downloading Premiere. The waveform makes finding the moment trivial.
Demo recordings run long. I trim down to the 90 seconds that matter and attach the result to the proposal. Closes deals faster.
06Questions
Video trimming, plainly answered.
What people ask before trimming their first clip. Anything missing? hello@wirelogs.com.
01How precise is the trim?
Frame-accurate. You can step one frame at a time with the arrow keys or type a millisecond-level timecode into the in/out fields. Most users land within a single frame of where they want.
02Does the trim lose quality?
There's a small re-encode at the end to produce a clean cut, but the defaults are tuned so the difference is invisible for typical content. If you need bit-perfect cuts, plan to do them in a desktop NLE — most workflows don't.
03Will the audio stay in sync?
Yes. The trim cuts video and audio together by timestamp, so sync is preserved end-to-end. The waveform helps you place cuts that don't chop a word in half.
04Which input formats work?
MP4, WebM, MOV, MKV, AVI, and M4V — most consumer and prosumer formats. Output is MP4 by default for maximum compatibility.
05What's the max file size?
1 GB. Longer recordings should be processed in stages or trimmed at lower quality first. Most clips that need trimming are well under that.
06Is the trimmer free?
Yes. No usage cap, no watermark on the output, no premium plan, no sign-up.
07Where does my footage go?
Nowhere. The trim runs inside your browser via FFmpeg compiled to WebAssembly. Wirelogs never sees the file — sensitive recordings stay yours.
08Can I make multiple cuts in one go?
The tool focuses on a single in/out range. For multiple non-contiguous segments, trim each one separately and use the future-merging tools when available — most workflows still come out faster than booting a desktop editor.
