How to extract clips from a video

The clips are copied from the original frames, so quality stays the same. Your video is never uploaded: it is cut in your browser, free, with no signup and no watermark.

  1. Step 1

    Open your video

    Drop a video on the editor or choose one from your files. Nothing is uploaded: it opens right here, even a long 4K video.

  2. Step 2

    Mark each clip

    Drag the orange handles around the first part you want. Press New clip for each further part, and give a clip a name if you like: it goes into the file name.

  3. Step 3

    Export and download

    Each clip is saved as its own MP4. Download them one by one, or all together as one ZIP.

Why a clip can start a little later

A video is stored in groups of frames, and each group begins with a keyframe. A clip copied without re-encoding has to start on one.

So QuickVideoCutter.com starts each clip on the next keyframe, shows the skipped part striped, and tells you how much. A clip's end stays where you put it, within a few frames.

Your video never leaves your device

Many online cutters upload your file first. QuickVideoCutter.com works inside your browser, so there is no upload to wait for and no copy of your video anywhere else.

The whole cut happens on your device. Zero bytes of your video are uploaded.

How do I save part of a video as a separate file?

To save part of a video as a separate file, open it above, drag the handles around that part, and export. Each clip you mark becomes its own MP4, named after the video and the clip.

Can I extract several clips at once?

You can extract several clips at once. Press New clip for each part you want. Every clip is exported as its own file, and Download all saves them together as one ZIP.

Can two clips overlap?

Two clips can overlap. Each clip is copied on its own, so the same moment can be in both files: a short highlight, say, and a longer version around it.

Does extracting clips lower the quality?

Extracting clips does not lower the quality. Each clip is copied byte for byte from the original, not re-encoded, so picture, bitrate and frame rate stay exactly as they were.

Is my video uploaded?

Your video is never uploaded. The file opens in your browser and the clips are made on your device. Nothing the page sends ever includes the file or its name.
