Trim your videos exactly the way you want using either the interactive timeline slider or manual time entry. Simply drag the handles to keep the required section or enter the precise start and end time in hours, minutes, or seconds for greater accuracy. This makes it easy to remove unwanted introductions, endings, mistakes, or unnecessary scenes from recordings of any length.
Adjust the visible area of your video by cropping it to match your preferred layout. Choose from Original, 1:1, 16:9, 9:16, 4:3, or 3:4 aspect ratios to prepare videos for websites, presentations, mobile devices, or social media platforms. Cropping helps remove unwanted edges while making your content fit the intended display. Simply select the aspect ratio that best suits your project.
Correct videos that were recorded in the wrong orientation without re-recording them. Rotate your video left or right to fix sideways footage, or flip it horizontally or vertically to create the desired viewing angle. These tools are useful for correcting camera orientation, mirrored recordings, or creating creative visual effects. Since both rotation and flipping are available during the same editing session, you can make multiple adjustments before exporting.
Control how quickly your video plays by choosing from playback speeds ranging from 0.2× to 2×, including 0.5×, 0.75×, 1×, 1.25×, 1.5×, and 1.75×. Slow down important moments for easier viewing or speed up lengthy recordings to create shorter, more engaging videos. The playback speed can be adjusted while trimming and editing, eliminating the need for additional software. Simply choose the speed that best matches your content before saving the final version.
Export your trimmed video using the resolution that best matches your needs. Keep the Original resolution to preserve the existing dimensions or choose from 1080p, 720p, 480p, 360p, or 240p depending on where you plan to share the video. Lower resolutions can help reduce file size, while higher resolutions provide better visual quality for larger screens. The available options make it easy to prepare videos for presentations, websites, mobile devices, or online sharing.
Reduce your video's file size while maintaining the quality that works best for your project. Choose an encoding speed from Ultrafast to Very Slow and fine-tune compression using a CRF value between 0 and 51. As you adjust these settings, the tool displays both the original file size and the estimated output size, helping you understand how your choices affect the final result. This allows you to balance processing speed, storage space, and video quality before exporting. Once you're satisfied, simply save and download the optimized video.
