Video Toolkit

No. The video engine (ffmpeg compiled to WebAssembly) is downloaded once to your browser and runs on your own device, so your video never leaves it. Only your settings, such as the GIF width, are remembered in this browser.

There is no limit set by us, and nothing to pay. Very large videos (several GB) can run out of browser memory; if that happens, use Trim with Fast cut first, which needs the least memory, then compress the shorter clip.

Choose Compress, switch to “To a file size” and pick Discord (10 MB) or Email (25 MB), or type any size you need, for example a website’s upload limit. For long videos also pick 720p or 480p so the picture stays sharp at that size.

Re-encoding a video is heavy work, and here your own device does it instead of a server. Expect roughly the length of the video on a recent computer, and longer on phones. Fast cut in Trim needs no re-encoding and finishes in seconds.

Fast cut copies the video without re-encoding, so it is instant and keeps the original quality and format, but the start can move back to the nearest keyframe, usually less than a few seconds. Exact cut re-encodes to MP4 so it starts and ends on the exact frame.

Choose Compress and keep Size and Frame rate on Keep with High quality. The result is an H.264 MP4 that plays on iPhone, Android, WhatsApp, YouTube and PowerPoint.

Choose Video to GIF, select 2 to 10 seconds with the handles or start and end times, pick a width and smoothness, and press Make GIF. A smaller width and fewer frames per second give a smaller file for chats and websites.

Yes. Choose Extract MP3, optionally select only the part you want, such as one song, pick a quality and save. 192 kbps suits most uses; choose 320 kbps for music.

Yes, in recent Chrome, Safari and Firefox on Android and iPhone. Phones are slower at compressing and have less memory, so trim long videos first or choose a smaller size.
