Clip
Shape
Bars
Start, end and between clips
Tap a clip on the timeline to change its speed, turn or mirror it, zoom in, or give it a colour filter.
Clip
Speed
Slow motion or fast forward. The clip's sound changes speed (and pitch) with it.
Filter
Filters and colour changes need Chrome, Edge or Firefox; this browser leaves the colours as they are.
Colour
Logo or watermark
No music yet. Use music you have the rights to: YouTube mutes or blocks videos with copyrighted songs.
1080p is best for YouTube. 720p exports faster and makes a smaller file for WhatsApp; 480p is the smallest, for slow connections.
Still picture
The frame at the playhead, with its text and logo, at the export size. Handy for a YouTube thumbnail.
How did Video editor work for you?
Please don't include personal details. Your files are never sent with a review.
Thanks! We read every review, and it shapes what we build next.
Trim in seconds
Add the video, then drag the edges of the clip on the timeline to where it should start and end, or type the exact seconds. The preview shows the result straight away.
Cut out the middle
Move the playhead to the start of the part you don't want, press Split, move to its end, press Split again, select the piece in between and press Delete.
Private and fast
The video never leaves your device, so a long recording doesn't need a long upload. The new MP4 is made by your browser.
Use cases
Cut the boring start
Remove the first seconds of fumbling with the phone and the end where you stop recording.
Remove a mistake
Split around a mistake in the middle and delete it, then export the clean version.
Make it fit a limit
Trim a video to 30 seconds for a status or 60 seconds for a Short.
Questions
Does trimming lower the quality?
The video is re-encoded at 720p or 1080p, which looks the same on phones and YouTube.
Can I trim a video on my phone?
Yes, in Chrome on Android, or a recent Safari on iPhone.
Is it free?
Yes, with no watermark.
