Cut videos for TikTok and Reels without waiting on a cloud render queue

You found the viral moment at 0:38 — but exporting it means uploading three minutes to a random trimmer?

Short-form platforms punish slow editors

TikTok and Reels reward the first frame. You need sub-second trims on hooks, not a production suite that imports your entire camera roll to a cloud timeline.

Online video trimmers expose your unpublished clips

Upload-to-trim sites are built for convenience, not creators:

  • Sponsor drafts and face recordings sit on public queues
  • Watermark exports unless you create an account
  • Re-encode chains soften already-compressed phone video
  • Vertical safe zones are guesswork without local preview

Trim and resize vertical clips locally

SnapKit uses FFmpeg in WebAssembly for frame-accurate cuts and 9:16 exports — your draft never leaves RAM.

Mark in and out on the hook

Use cut video to isolate the scroll-stopping opener.

Fit the frame for Reels and TikTok

Pass the clip through resize video for 1080×1920 without black bars.

**Your files never leave the browser.** SnapKit runs WebAssembly, FFmpeg, and Canvas directly in your RAM — instant speed, zero cloud uploads, and privacy you can actually trust.
