How to split a video for WhatsApp status
By Milind Sahu Updated .
Parts are copied from the original frames, so quality stays the same. Your video is never uploaded: it is split in your browser, free and without a watermark.
- 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.
- Step 2
Check the parts
The panel shows how many parts you get and the longest one, never more than 1:30.0. Press a shorter preset if you want smaller parts.
- Step 3
Export and post
Download the parts one by one, or all together as a ZIP. Then add them to your status in order, one after another.
Why a part can be a little shorter than 90 seconds
A video is stored in groups of frames, and each group begins with a keyframe. A part copied without re-encoding has to start on one.
So when a part would run past 90 seconds, QuickVideoCutter.com ends it sooner, on a keyframe. Every part fits, nothing is lost between parts, and the panel shows the longest one.
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.

How long can a WhatsApp status video be?
A WhatsApp status video can be up to 90 seconds long, WhatsApp's help center says. A longer video has to be trimmed, or split into parts that you post one after another.
How do I post a long video on WhatsApp status?
To post a long video on WhatsApp status, split it here into parts of 90 seconds or less, then add the parts to your status in order. Each part plays right after the one before.
Does splitting a video lower the quality?
Splitting a video does not lower the quality. Every part 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 parts are made on your device. Nothing the page sends ever includes the file or its name.
