Cut your audio or video down to exactly the piece you need: drag two handles on the waveform, hit Cut, done. Flippy trims with stream copy: the file is sliced at the nearest safe boundary and the data is copied straight across, so there's no re-encoding, no quality loss, and even a two-hour recording cuts in seconds.

That stream-copy trick is the whole story of why this tool feels instant while others chew: nothing is decoded and re-compressed, which also means the trimmed file sounds and looks exactly like the original : just shorter.

How to trim a file

  1. 1

    Drop your audio or video into the trimmer above: the waveform draws itself.

  2. 2

    Drag the handles around the section you're keeping; the player previews exactly what stays.

  3. 3

    Hit Cut and download the piece, identical quality, near-instantly.

Why trim it here

Near-instant, whatever the length

Stream copy makes the cut a copy job, not an encode job: a two-hour lecture trims about as fast as a two-minute clip.

Zero generation loss

The trimmed file carries the exact bytes of the original, just fewer of them. Trim as many times as you like; quality never walks downhill.

A waveform, not a guess

The audio waveform draws the whole file, so you can see sentences, silences and beats and drop the handles exactly where the content changes.

No watermark, no signup

Free for everyday use, and files delete themselves from our servers within an hour.

Keyframes: the fine print on lossless cutting

Compressed video stores a full picture only every few seconds (a keyframe) and cheap differences in between. A lossless cut can only begin at a keyframe, so your start point snaps to the nearest one: usually well under a second away.

Frame-accurate cutters solve the snap by re-encoding the whole clip, which is slower and spends a generation of quality. Flippy takes the lossless trade on purpose: for recordings, podcasts and highlights, the snap is invisible and the speed is not.

Audio-only files barely notice any of this: audio frames are tiny, so trims on MP3s and WAVs land almost exactly where you point.

Questions people ask

Does trimming reduce quality?

No: stream copy moves your data untouched. Only the length changes; the encoding never does.

Trim, cut, split: what's the difference?

Names, mostly. Keeping one continuous section is what this tool does, whatever you call it. If you searched 'cut video', you're in the right place.

Can I remove the middle of a file?

In two passes: cut the first piece you want, cut the second, then join them with the Merger. A one-pass middle-cut is on the list.

Why does my cut start a fraction early or late?

Stream copy can only slice at safe frame boundaries (keyframes), so the cut lands on the nearest one: usually within a second. It's the price of zero quality loss, and for most clips it's invisible.

Do you keep my files?

No: everything deletes itself within about an hour of processing. The security page has the full story.
