# Cut a clip out of a video

Video Cutter saves the part of a video between two times you type, as a new file. Fast mode copies the original stream in seconds without losing quality and cuts at the nearest keyframe. Accurate mode re-encodes to MP4 for a frame exact cut. It all runs in your browser tab, so the video is never uploaded.

Runs on your device

## How it works

1. Drop the video you want to cut into the file box.
2. Type where the clip should begin in Start and where it should finish in End, for example 0:42 and 1:10.
3. Leave Mode on Fast to keep full quality, or choose Accurate if the cut must land on an exact moment.
4. Press Trim video, play the preview to check the cut, then press Download.

## Key facts

- **Output**: One new file with only the part between Start and End
- **Fast mode**: Copies the stream, so no quality is lost, but the cut snaps to a keyframe
- **Accurate mode**: Re-encodes to H.264 MP4 and cuts on the exact time
- **File limit**: 500 MB on a computer, 250 MB on a phone
- **Accurate mode limit**: 120 MB on a computer, 60 MB on a phone
- **Your file**: Processed inside this tab and never uploaded

## Common uses

- Keep the one good take from a long phone recording.
- Cut a highlight from a game or meeting capture before sharing it.
- Drop the intro of a lecture video and keep the part you need to rewatch.
- Make a short clip small enough to send in a message.

## Questions

### How do I cut a video without losing quality?

Use Fast mode. It copies the existing video and audio data instead of encoding it again, so the clip has exactly the quality of the original. The trade-off is that the start can fall a little before the time you typed, because a copied clip has to begin on a keyframe.

### Can I cut several pieces out of the middle of a video?

Not in one go. The cutter keeps a single range between Start and End. To keep several parts, run it once for each part and save each clip as its own file.

### Does the cut video get a watermark?

No. The file you download contains only your video, with no watermark or branding added, and it is not sent to any server.

### Is my video uploaded anywhere?

No. The video engine runs inside your browser tab and reads the file from your device. ToolSugar's servers never receive it, and closing the tab clears the working copy from memory.
