Split Video
Split Video divides one clip into several separate files at the points you choose, or every N minutes. It's ideal for breaking a long recording into shareable chapters or fitting a video under a platform's per-clip limit. Each part is exported individually and bundled for download.
Add your video
The file is read by your browser and stays on your device — there is no upload step.
Your video
The work runs in this tab. Nothing is sent anywhere, and the download is generated locally.

What you will get back
- One file per segment
Each section becomes its own video, numbered in order.
- Downloaded as a ZIP
Several outputs arrive as one archive, since a browser cannot hand you a folder of files.
- Sizes that do not divide evenly
Splitting a 60 MB video in half rarely gives two 30 MB files — a section with more motion costs more bits than a static one.

Your file, and what the page does
Your file is never uploaded. Split Video reads it into this browser tab and processes it with FFmpeg compiled to WebAssembly on your own device. There is no upload endpoint in the application and no copy on any server — closing the tab discards it.
That is also why processing takes longer here than on a site that uploads: your device is doing the work rather than a rack of servers. The trade is that the file never leaves it.
What the page does send or fetch
- The processing engine, once
- The first time you use any video or audio tool, the browser downloads the FFmpeg WebAssembly build (~30MB) from the jsDelivr CDN and reuses the cached copy afterwards. That is a file coming to you — no part of your own file is in the request.
- Ads on the page
- The site is funded by advertising, so the page loads Google AdSense. That carries the usual web basics — IP address, browser, referring page — as on any ad-supported site.
- An anonymous usage counter
- When Split Video finishes we record that the tool ran, whether it succeeded and how long it took. No file data, no identifier, no cookie.
Your file is not on that list. How this works.
