How this video splitter works

Splitting a video means cutting it at one or more points and saving each piece as its own file. The first part runs from the start to the first cut, and each later part runs from one cut to the next. The original file is not changed, and every part is offered for download.

Each part is re-encoded to an MP4 with H.264 video and AAC sound, so a cut can land on any moment, not only on a keyframe. The work runs on WebAssembly (ffmpeg.wasm) in your browser, so the file never leaves your device. A long clip takes longer because each part is encoded. A progress bar shows the work, and each finished file has its own download button.

Tips and related tools

Play the video to find the right moment, then drag a cut, type its time, or press Split at playhead. Add another cut for more parts. If you only need to keep one section and discard the rest, use Trim Video. Large files are slower, so VimCut warns from about 500 MB and blocks files above 2 GB.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I split a video into more than two parts?

Yes. Add another cut, or type each time. Each gap between cuts becomes its own file.

Will splitting lose any video quality?

Each part is re-encoded to H.264 with AAC sound, so expect a small quality change on every part, usually not noticeable at normal viewing sizes.

Are the parts uploaded anywhere?

No. Like every VimCut tool, splitting happens locally in your browser using WebAssembly, your file is never sent to a server.
