How to use Video Editor

Edit a video without uploading it. Drag two handles to trim, draw a box to crop, turn or flip the picture, make it smaller, speed it up or slow it down, and mute it or change the volume. You see the real result before you save. It is saved as WebM, or MP4 where your browser supports it.

  1. Drop a video onto the page, or press Try with a sample.
  2. Drag the pink handles under the picture to trim. Use Crop to drag a box on the picture, or pick a shape such as 1:1, 16:9 or 9:16.
  3. Rotate, flip, choose a size, set the speed and sound, and pick a format.
  4. Press Save video, keep the tab in front while it saves, then download the result.

Frequently asked questions

Why does saving take as long as the video?

The edited video is recorded while it plays, so it takes about as long as the clip does at your chosen speed. Keep the tab in front while it saves.

Which formats can I open?

Anything your browser can play, usually MP4 (H.264), WebM and most phone videos. Some MOV, MKV and AVI files use formats browsers cannot play.

Can I save as MP4?

Yes in recent Chrome and Edge. Where MP4 is not available, the video is saved as WebM, which plays in browsers and most apps.

Is Video Editor free?

Video Editor is part of the paid plans (Plus and Pro), because it needs more work from your device. Each use costs 5 tokens, and Plus includes 300 tokens a month, Pro 1500. Many of our other tools are free to use.

Do I need to install anything?

No. Open the page and use it. There is nothing to install, and it works on phones, tablets and computers.

What if something goes wrong?

Open Support from the menu at the top of the page and tell us what happened. A use that fails is not counted against your limit.

Does it work on my phone?

Yes. It works in current versions of Chrome, Safari, Edge and Firefox on phones, tablets and computers. Very large files can be slow on older phones.
