MOV Video Cutter
Trim QuickTime MOV in your browser. Free, no upload.
MOV is common for iPhone, drones, and NLE exports. Trimming MOV extracts a time range before you share or upload. Choose MP4 for universal playback or MOV when required. Processing stays on your device.
When to use MOV Video Cutter vs other formats
Use MOV-oriented guidance for QuickTime assets. For Android-heavy or social delivery, MP4 after trim is often easiest.
Compatibility
Trimmed MP4 plays broadly; MOV is strong on Apple platforms.
Quality considerations
High-resolution MOV allows flexible trim points; preview on mobile if that is your audience.
