NearVid trims video entirely in your browser using a self-built, GPL-free ffmpeg.wasm engine. Trimming uses lossless stream-copy — your video is cut, not re-encoded, so there's no quality loss. It's free, with no sign-up and no account, and your file is never uploaded anywhere. NearVid can also convert the trimmed clip to WebM or GIF, and export real MP4 using your browser's own built-in codecs where supported.

Most video tools upload your file to a server to process it — which means someone else's computer briefly has your video. NearVid runs entirely on-device: trimming, WebM conversion, GIF creation, and audio extraction use a real FFmpeg build compiled to WebAssembly, and always work, on any browser. Where your browser supports it, MP4 output is also available — it uses your browser's own built-in H.264/AAC encoder via WebCodecs, not anything NearVid bundles, so it only appears as an option on Chrome and other Chromium-based browsers with hardware or software H.264 encoding support.
