Introduction: Trim and Compress Videos with Trencada
Need to shorten a video or reduce its file size? The Video Trimmer & Compressor on Trencada lets you cut unwanted parts from a video and compress the result for easier storage and sharing — right in your browser.
Whether you want to remove the beginning or end of a recording, create a shorter clip, or shrink a video so it is easier to email, post, or upload, this free tool gives you a simple, visual way to do it with no editing experience required.
How to Use Video Trimmer & Compressor on Trencada
- Upload Your Video
Drop a video onto the upload box, or click to choose one from your device. MP4, MOV, and WebM files are supported, and files under about 300MB work best. - Set the Start and End Points
Drag the blue handles on the timeline — or nudge them with the arrow keys — to mark the exact section you want to keep. The Start, Selection, and End times update live as you drag. - Choose a Resolution and Quality
Pick a resolution (Original, Max 1080p, Max 720p, Max 480p, or Max 360p) and a quality level (High — larger file, Medium — balanced, or Low — smallest file) to control the final file size. - Preview Your Selection
Hit “Preview selection” to play just the trimmed section before processing, so you know the cut is exactly right. - Trim, Compress, and Download
Click “Trim & Compress” and watch the progress bar. When it finishes, preview the result, compare the before/after file sizes, and download the clip as filename-trimmed.mp4 or filename-trimmed.webm.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trim a video online?
Yes. Upload your video and drag the timeline handles to select the start and end points, then trim and download the shorter clip.
Can I reduce the size of a video?
Yes. Choose a lower resolution (for example Max 480p) or the Low quality preset to compress the video to a smaller file size.
Can I trim and compress the same video?
Yes. You can trim unwanted sections and compress the resulting video in one go before downloading it.
