Video Clipper

Stable · version 0.0.0 · Windows 10/11, 64-bit

Drag-and-drop trimming, resizing, and compression, powered by ffmpeg.

Video Clipper is a friendly front end for ffmpeg. Drag in a video, trim the ends, and export — with optional resizing and compression to hit a target file size. Because it is ffmpeg underneath, trims are fast and the output quality is predictable. Queue several files and let it work through them.

What it replaces

Replaces online video tools and Premiere Rush — upload limits plus a subscription. Video Clipper is trim, resize, and compress; it is not an editor with a timeline.

What it does

  • Trim without re-encoding where possible
  • Resize to common resolutions
  • Compress to a target file size
  • Convert between common formats
  • Queue and batch multiple files
  • ffmpeg under the hood — no quality surprises

Installing on Windows

The installer is not code-signed yet, so Windows SmartScreen shows a blue “Windows protected your PC” box the first time you run it. Click More info, then Run anyway. Buying code-signing certificates is one of the things donations pay for.

The installer’s first screen offers Full install (a Start-menu entry and an Apps & features listing) or Unzip (just extracts the program folder to a location you pick — no registry changes).

Every release on GitHub lists a SHA-256 hash for each file so you can verify your download. Video Clipper checks for a newer version when it starts and offers to fetch it — you always get a prompt, never a silent update.

Video Clipper is free.

Donations are what pay for keeping it maintained and signed.
