Frequently Asked Questions

How long does trimming take?

Trimming from the very beginning (0 seconds) is extremely fast because the video stream can be copied. Trimming from a later start point requires re-encoding the video, which takes longer - roughly in proportion to the length of the section you keep.

Is the cut exactly where I asked?

Yes. Because a trim with a later start re-encodes the video stream, the cut lands on the exact timecode you entered rather than snapping to the nearest keyframe, ensuring precision.

Can I trust this tool with personal videos?

Absolutely. We designed this tool so that your files never leave your device. The trimming happens locally, meaning your data is never uploaded, stored, or viewed by anyone else.
