Trim video — Raheeb

What is this feature?

Many trimming tools re-encode the video, costing you quality and minutes of waiting. Raheeb's trim tool cuts at the points you choose and copies the same video and audio data into a new file. The result is identical in quality, in seconds.

The interface is simple: a filmstrip of the video and two handles you drag to set the start and end. The new copy is saved next to the original, which is never changed, whether it's in My Files or in Photos.

No re-encoding

Exactly the same quality as the source, with no second compression.

Fast

Seconds even for long videos, because the file is copied, not rebuilt.

The original stays

The trimmed copy sits beside it, and the original is unchanged.

Filmstrip

See the video's frames while you set the start and end.
