Why trim a video on PDFDocks?
Trimming a video is useful to keep only the part you're interested in, without needing to download editing software. PDFDocks does it directly in your browser, without uploading your video to any server.
Is it safe to trim a video online with PDFDocks?
+
Yes. Your video is never uploaded to a server: the trimming happens directly in your browser.
Why doesn't the trim start exactly at the second I chose?
+
To make the trim nearly instant, the entire video isn't reprocessed — existing frames are reused instead. That's why the start adjusts to the nearest keyframe, which may shift the cut forward by a fraction of a second.
Does video quality get lost when trimming?
+
No. The trimmed segment maintains exactly the same quality as the original video.
Do I need to install any software?
+
No, there's nothing to install. It works directly from your browser.
Is there a file size limit?
+
We haven't set any artificial limits. The only real limit is your device's memory.
