Trim and Merge Videos for Free

This free video cutter trims the start and end of a clip and joins several clips into one video, in the order you choose. Add fades or slides so the cuts feel smooth.

It’s quick even on a phone, and it runs right in your browser, so your videos never leave your device.

Shapes

Ready for Any App

Keep the original shape, or export as 9:16 for Reels, TikTok and Shorts or 1:1 for feed posts.

Clips with different sizes are fitted into the same frame for you.

Use cases

Cut It Tight.

01

Social Clips

Cut the slow start and the awkward ending so your video gets to the point in the first second.

02

Joining Phone Clips

Shot a trip, an event or a product in several clips? Put them in order and export them as one video.

03

Recaps and Highlight Reels

Pick the best moments from several videos and join them with fades into a single recap.

04

Tutorials and Talks

Remove mistakes, long pauses and setup time from a recording, and keep only the useful parts.

Guide

Edits That Flow.

Trimming is where most videos get better. These habits make even short edits feel professional.

  1. 01

    Hook in the First Second

    Start on the action or the most interesting line. If the clip takes a while to get going, trim harder than feels comfortable.

  2. 02

    Cut on Movement

    Cutting while something moves hides the edit. A cut between two still shots is much easier to notice.

  3. 03

    Use Fades Sparingly

    A plain cut is right most of the time. Use a fade to show a change of time or place, and keep it short, about half a second.

  4. 04

    Keep Clips the Same Shape

    Mixing vertical and horizontal clips works, but they’ll be fitted into one frame. For the cleanest look, shoot or resize everything to the same shape first.

  5. 05

    End on Purpose

    Stop on a clear final line, a reaction or a product shot. Or end where it can loop back to the start, which works well on Reels and TikTok.

Avoid these

Mistakes That Slow Videos Down.

A Long Intro

Logos, greetings and “hey guys” at the start lose viewers before the video begins. Trim straight to the first useful second.

Fades on Every Cut

Too many fades make an edit feel slow and dated. Keep plain cuts and save fades for real changes of time or place.

Mixed Audio Levels

Clips recorded in different places can jump from quiet to loud. Listen through once, and replace or re-record a clip that’s far off.

FAQ

Trimming and Joining, Answered.

Can I join videos with different sizes?

Yes. They’re fitted into one frame, with the shape you pick.

What does Pro add to this tool?

Pro exports in 1080p and 4K, takes up to 30 minutes of video in all instead of 10, and clips up to 4 GB instead of 1 GB. It also comes with monthly credits for Creatide’s AI video, image and music models.

How many clips can I join?

Up to 20 clips and 10 minutes in total on the free plan; up to 20 clips and 30 minutes with Pro (10 minutes on iPhone and iPad).

Are my videos stored?

No. Your clips never leave your device: they’re trimmed and joined right in your browser, and nothing is uploaded.

Is it free?

Yes. No credits, no account and no daily limit.

Can I remove a part from the middle of a clip?

Yes. Add the same clip twice, trim the first copy to end before that part and the second to start after it. They’re joined into one video.

Does trimming lose quality?

Trimming a single clip in its own shape copies the original video without exporting it again: it’s instant and keeps the full quality, though the start may move to the nearest keyframe, usually a fraction of a second earlier. Joining clips, adding a transition or changing the shape exports the video again, at 720p on the free plan and 1080p or 4K with Pro.

Can I make versions for different apps?

Yes. Export once in each shape you need, for example 9:16 for Reels and 16:9 for YouTube.
