Free video tools · FFmpeg in your browser
Trim, compress & convert video online, without uploading it
Every “free online video tool” uploads your footage to someone else's server and makes you wait in their queue. VidClip runs the same FFmpeg engine, compiled to WebAssembly, inside your browser. No upload, no queue, no account.
Processing is 100% local. Verify it: unplug your network after the page loads.

See all tools“No upload” isn't a slogan here. It's the architecture.
VidClip ships FFmpeg (the same engine behind professional video pipelines) compiled to WebAssembly. When you pick a file, it is read into your browser's memory, processed on your CPU, and written back to your downloads folder. Our server serves this page and nothing else; there is no endpoint that could receive your footage even by accident.
That matters because video is the most personal file type there is: your kids, your clients, your screen. The mainstream tools hold it on their disks during processing and ask you to trust their retention policy. Local processing replaces the policy with physics.

Frequently asked questions
- Is VidClip really free?
- Yes. Every in-browser tool (trim, crop, resize, rotate, speed, compress, convert to MP4, GIF, MP3, still frames and mute) is free up to 200 MB per file, with a small corner watermark on video exports. Pro ($4/mo, billed $24 every 6 months · cancel anytime, or $79 lifetime, one payment) removes the watermark and the cap, and adds instant lossless trim and mute.
- Does my video really never upload?
- Correct. VidClip ships FFmpeg compiled to WebAssembly; your file is read into your browser's memory, processed on your CPU, and saved back to disk. Our server only serves the page. You can unplug your network after loading and everything still works.
- What formats can I convert?
- Anything FFmpeg can decode (MP4, MOV, WebM, MKV, AVI and most others), converting to universal H.264 MP4, animated GIF, or MP3 audio.
- Is there a file size limit?
- The free tier caps input at 200 MB. Pro removes the cap; the practical limit becomes your device's memory, since processing happens locally.
- Why is processing slower than upload-based sites?
- Those sites run server farms; VidClip runs on your machine, which is the privacy trade. Short clips finish in seconds; lossless Pro operations (fast trim, mute) are near-instant because nothing re-encodes.
VidClip Pro
Stop guessing at settings.
Pro compresses to a size limit you name, picks settings from where the video is going, and plans multi-step edits for you, with no watermark and no 200 MB cap. $4/mo, billed $24 every 6 months · cancel anytime, or $79 lifetime (one payment, nothing renews), against the $9 to $24 a month the upload-your-files tools charge.
