Split a Video into Clips Online for Free

Turn one long video into several shorter ones. Upload the file and choose how to divide it — into a set number of equal parts, into a clip every so many seconds, or at points you pick yourself. The clips are copied straight out of the original rather than re-encoded, so they keep exactly the quality they had and the whole job takes seconds. Everything downloads together as a single ZIP. No sign-up and no watermarks.

How to Divide a Video into Parts

  1. Click the upload area above or drag and drop your video (up to 50 MB).
  2. Pick a split mode and set it up:
    • Custom points – scrub the preview and add a split at the current moment (or type times like 30, 75, 120)
    • Equal parts – enter a number and the video is divided into that many equal clips
    • By duration – enter a clip length and it cuts every N seconds
  3. Split and download your clips as a ZIP.

Key Features

  • Three ways to split – custom points, equal parts, or by duration
  • Visual preview – scrub the video and mark split points exactly where you want
  • Fast and lossless – the clips are copied out of the original rather than re-encoded, so nothing is lost and even a long video splits in seconds
  • Up to 50 MB – five times the limit on tools that have to re-encode, because copying is much lighter work
  • One ZIP download – every clip packaged together, named in order

When You Might Need This

  • Dividing a long video into pieces short enough to send or upload
  • Cutting a recording to fit a platform's length limit
  • Breaking a lecture, sermon or training session into chapters
  • Separating several takes that were recorded in one sitting
  • Splitting a match, performance or ceremony into its sections
  • Getting a long screen recording into topic-sized pieces
  • Making a set of short clips for social posts out of one longer video
  • Breaking up a file that is too large for someone to download in one go

Frequently Asked Questions

Upload it and choose one of the three modes. Equal parts is the quickest if you just want it broken up — enter how many clips you want and the tool works out the timings. By duration suits a recording you want in fixed chunks, such as five minutes each. Custom points is for when the breaks belong in specific places, like between topics or takes. All three produce a ZIP with the clips inside, numbered in order.

Close, but not always to the frame. Because the clips are copied rather than re-encoded, each one has to begin at a keyframe — a full picture that video files store every second or two. Your clip therefore starts at the keyframe on or before the point you chose, which can include up to a couple of extra seconds at the front. For most splitting nobody notices. Cutting on an exact frame would mean re-encoding the video, which is slower and costs a little quality.

No. The video and audio are copied straight out of the original without being decoded and re-encoded, so each clip is identical in quality to the part of the source it came from. This is also why it is so quick, and why this tool accepts files up to 50 MB when tools that re-encode stop at 10.

Trim Video keeps one section and discards the rest. This page keeps everything and divides it up, so you get back every second of the original spread across several files. Use the trimmer when you want one clip out of a longer video; use this when you want the whole thing in sections.

Yes — choose by duration and enter 300 seconds. The tool cuts every five minutes until it reaches the end, and the final clip will simply be whatever is left over, which is usually shorter than the rest. That is normal and does not mean anything went wrong.

All the clips are bundled into a single ZIP file, named by part (for example video_part01.mp4, video_part02.mp4, …).
