Common questions
How do I type the times?
Seconds such as 90, minutes and seconds such as 1:30, or hours as 1:02:30. Leave the end empty to keep everything after the start.
Is the cut exact?
Yes, to the frame, because the clip is encoded again after cutting. That takes longer than a copy-only cut, but it avoids frozen or black starts.
Will the quality drop?
A little, because of the re-encode. A high quality setting is used.
Is my video uploaded anywhere?
No. The conversion happens inside your browser tab, so your video never leaves your device. We cannot see it or keep a copy.
Why was the first conversion slow to start?
The first time you convert audio or video, your browser downloads the conversion engine (ffmpeg, about 30 MB) from a public CDN. After that it is cached, so the next ones start straight away. Your files are not part of that download.
How big a file can I convert?
Everything runs in your browser's memory, so the limit is your device. We suggest about 500 MB on a computer and 100 MB on a phone. Beyond that, the tab may slow down or run out of memory. A computer is much faster than a phone.
