Trim MOV Online Free

MOV files from your iPhone, Mac screen recordings, or professional camera are often larger than you need. JustTrimVideo lets you trim MOV files directly in your browser - no QuickTime Pro needed, no iMovie required.

What is MOV?

MOV is Apple's QuickTime container format. It can hold H.264, HEVC (H.265), ProRes, and other codecs. MOV is the default format for iPhone videos, Mac screen recordings, and many professional cameras.

Why Trim MOV Files?

  • iPhone videos are big: A 1-minute 4K iPhone video is ~400MB. Trim to share just the good parts.
  • Screen recordings have dead time: Cut the setup and mistakes from tutorials and demos.
  • Social media limits: Discord, WhatsApp, and others have size caps. Trimming reduces file size.
  • Email attachments: Most email providers limit attachments to 25MB.

MOV and MP4 are actually very similar - they can contain the same video data. JustTrimVideo handles both equally well.

ProRes Note

If your MOV contains ProRes video (common from Final Cut Pro or professional cameras), the preview may not work in your browser. You can still enter trim times manually based on your video player's timecodes - the trimming will work correctly.
