FAQ
Can I trim a YouTube video without downloading it first?
No — YouTube does not allow direct trimming via API. You need a local copy of the file. Once it is on your device, this trimmer does the rest in seconds.
Will trimming reduce quality?
No. The trimmer uses stream-copy (-c copy), so the output is bit-identical to the YouTube source between your chosen start and end points.
Does this run in my browser?
Yes — the tool uses FFmpeg compiled to WebAssembly. Your file never uploads to a server, never leaves your device, and there is no signup or watermark.
