Get more views and shares by keeping Reels short and sweet. Typically, cut your video to be between 3 and 15 seconds long!

What is the best video trimmer?
How can I trim a video?

How do you trim a video on mobile?

Trimming a video on the go has never been easier! You can cut and trim video for free on Android or iOS apps. With our mobile screen recorder and video editor apps, you can trim and cut videos from the palm of your hand!

Open the app and tap to edit your video file. To trim a video, use the “trim” feature’s left and right handles to adjust the beginning and/or end of your video. To cut a video, toggle to the “cut” feature and drag the bars along the timeline. Click “done” to save the cut and remove that section of content from your video.
What’s the difference between “cut,” “trim,” and “crop” video?

In video editing, trim and cut refer to removing sections of a video clip. You can trim the beginning or end of a video to be shorter, or cut a section located anywhere in the video and delete it from your timeline.

Crop refers to removing some of the video image to change the shape, or aspect ratio, of your video. You can crop to the optimal aspect ratio for various social media platforms or delete unnecessary details from the video. Resizing the video keeps the video’s shape and aspect ratio the same, but scales the dimensions (height and width) to be larger or smaller.
