Split video into parts

Split a video into equal parts or fixed-length parts and download them together in a ZIP.

Private: it runs in your browser and your file is never uploaded. How to check it

MP4, MOV, WebM or MKV · up to 500 MB · processed on your device, the file is never uploaded.

You can also drag a video onto this page.

Fast: almost instant and no quality loss, but the cut snaps to the video’s keyframes and can be off by a second or two. Precise: cuts at the exact moment and the file is more compatible, but it takes longer because the whole segment is re-encoded.

Split video into parts: uses and practical guidance

Choose a video and decide how to divide it: into a number of equal parts (2 to 50) or into parts of a fixed length in seconds. With a fixed length, the last piece takes what is left; if less than half a second remains, it joins the previous part. Each part is created with the original container and you can choose fast cutting (copies without re-encoding, with cuts snapped to keyframes) or precise cutting (re-encodes, at the exact moment). Files are numbered (video-1-of-4.mp4) and downloaded in a single ZIP. Use it to fit the size limit of a messaging service or to share a long recording in pieces. The input limit is 500 MB.

Split video into parts. The video is opened and processed in your device’s memory and is never sent to a server, so speed depends on your computer and the file size. Copying tracks without re-encoding is almost instant; re-encoding can take several minutes for long or high-resolution videos. While it works, the page shows progress and a cancel button. Keep the tab open and visible until it finishes, because some browsers slow down background tabs. The 500 MB limit protects device memory. If the file is larger, split it into parts first. The original is never modified: the tool creates a new file that you download.

Split video into parts. Play the complete result before using it: check that picture and sound stay in sync, that no seconds are missing at the start or end, and that quality is sufficient for your purpose. Open the file in another player or in the application where you will publish it, because every platform has its own limits for duration, size and format. If the result does not play, try MP4, the most compatible format. Always keep the original video until you have verified the new one, and do not overwrite the source file. If the video contains personal data, remember that this tool does not hide faces or voices: it only changes the file.

Frequently asked questions

Is it free, and do I need to sign up?

Yes, it is free. You do not need to sign up, create an account or install an app, and there is no daily quota: open the tool and use it. The only limits are file sizes, which protect your device’s memory.

Does it leave a watermark on the result?

No. Snipshed adds no watermark, logo or text of its own to the files you download: the result is yours exactly as you configured it.

Is quality lost?

It depends on the codec: when the browser allows it, tracks are copied without re-encoding and there is no quality loss. If re-encoding is needed, a small loss is possible. Check the result before sending it.

Does it work on iPhone and Android?

Yes, from your phone’s browser (Safari, Chrome…) and without installing any app. When it finishes, the file is saved from the browser itself: on iPhone it appears in the Files app and on Android in Downloads. With very large files the phone may run out of memory; try a smaller file or a computer. Video operations need a recent browser with WebCodecs, such as current versions of Safari and Chrome.
