Trim video online without a watermark, a sign-up or an upload. This video editor runs ffmpeg directly in your browser and covers four jobs on one page: trim or cut a video, compress it to a smaller file, convert video to GIF, and extract the audio as MP3. Pick the clip, drag the start and end handles, choose the job, and download the result.
Because the processing happens on your device, your video is never uploaded — no waiting for a large file to crawl to a server, and private clips stay private. That is the core difference from the well-known online cutters, which upload your file before they touch it. Trimming uses stream copy, which cuts without re-encoding: the output keeps the original quality and format, and even long videos trim in seconds.
The other modes re-encode for their job: compress produces a 720p MP4 that is dramatically smaller for sharing, the GIF mode outputs a looping 480-pixel-wide GIF at 12 frames per second, and extract audio saves the soundtrack as an MP3. There are no daily export caps and no premium tier — every mode is free, and it all works in a phone browser as well as on a desktop.
How to use the Video Editor
- Choose your video file — it opens locally, nothing is uploaded.
- Drag the start and end handles to select the part you want to keep.
- Pick a mode: trim, compress, to GIF, or extract audio.
- Click process and let ffmpeg run in your browser — bigger files take longer.
- Download the result: the trimmed video, a compressed MP4, a looping GIF or an MP3.
Frequently asked questions
Does it add a watermark?
No. None of the four modes stamps anything on your video — the output is clean, with no paid tier to remove a logo.
Is my video uploaded to a server?
No. The editor runs ffmpeg as WebAssembly inside your browser, so the file is processed on your own device and never leaves it. Most online video cutters upload your file first.
Is there a maximum file size?
The tool sets no artificial cap and no daily export limit. The practical limit is your device's memory — very large files (multiple gigabytes) can fail on low-memory phones, where a desktop browser handles them better.
Does trimming reduce the video quality?
No. Trim mode uses stream copy — it cuts the file without re-encoding, so quality, resolution and format stay exactly as they were. Only compress mode deliberately reduces resolution and bitrate to shrink the file.
How do I convert a video to GIF?
Select the part of the video you want with the trim handles, switch to the to-GIF mode and process. You get a looping GIF, 480 pixels wide at 12 frames per second — a good balance of size and smoothness for chats and posts.
How is this different from online-video-cutter or ezgif?
Those are capable tools, but they process your video on their servers — so big files upload slowly and your clip leaves your hands; some rivals also cap daily exports or watermark results. Carbide keeps the whole job on your device, free and uncapped. For niche codecs or server-grade batch work, a desktop app still wins.
Is the video editor free?
Yes — all four modes (trim, compress, to GIF, extract audio) are free, with no sign-up and no limits on how many videos you process.
