How to split a video
Upload your video
Drag and drop your file into the video splitter or click "Browse files" to select it from your device. The tool supports MP4, MOV, WebM, AVI, and MKV files. No account required.
Choose your split point
Scrub through the timeline to find the exact frame where you want to cut. Preview your clip to get the timing just right before you commit.
Split and download
Click "Split" and the tool instantly divides your video into two separate clips. Download one or both. No rendering queues, no waiting, no watermarks.
Completely free
No hidden fees, no subscription required, and no paywall at the download step. Free means free.
No account or signup
You don't need to create a login to use this tool. Open the page, upload your video, and go.
No watermarks
Both downloaded clips are clean, ready-to-share files. What you see is what you get.

Trim a long YouTube video into two separate uploads, or isolate the best moment from a longer recording.

Tips for better results
Find the exact frame you need
Use the timeline preview to scrub through your footage before committing to a split point. A few extra seconds here saves a re-do later.
Work with the original file
Split the highest-quality version of your video rather than a compressed copy to get the cleanest output.
Check your format first
The video splitter supports MP4, MOV, WebM, AVI, and MKV.
