Split video for anything

The right clips for every platform

Long recording in, ready-to-share clips out

Split video for TikTok & Reels

Reels run up to 90 seconds and TikToks favor short cuts. Fixed-length mode turns one long video into post-ready pieces.

Split video for WhatsApp status

WhatsApp status caps at 30 seconds. Set fixed length to 30s and get status-ready clips in a click.

Split into equal parts

Divide one video into two, three, or more evenly sized clips, previewed before you export.

Split a large video file

Break a big MP4, MOV, or MKV into smaller, shareable pieces without re-encoding or losing quality.

Split video into parts

How splitting a video works

Splitting cuts one video into several smaller clips. VidTools does it without re-encoding: it copies the original audio and video streams into each new clip, so the pieces keep the exact quality, resolution, and codec of the source. Because there's no re-render, splitting is near-instant even for large files, and because it runs in your browser, the video is never uploaded.

Split modes, and when to use each

By timestamps: mark exact cut points and export a clip between each one — best for pulling highlights out of an interview or stream. Equal parts: set a number and VidTools divides the video into that many even clips. Fixed length: choose a length like 30 seconds and it chops the whole video into pieces of that size — best for social platforms with a time limit.

Split video for social media

Most platforms cap clip length: WhatsApp status at 30 seconds, Instagram stories at 15, reels at 90. Use fixed-length mode, set the limit, and post each clip in order. Nothing is re-encoded, so the clips stay sharp and upload fast.

Works with every major format

Drop in MP4, MOV, WebM, or MKV up to 2 GB, and the exported clips keep the original format. If the clips are still too heavy, compress them with the Video Compressor, or pull the audio with Extract Audio.

Frequently asked questions

Does my video upload to VidTools?

No. Your file is read locally and split in your browser — it's never sent over the network or stored on a server.

Which split modes are supported?

By timestamps (mark exact cut points), equal parts (a set number of even clips), and fixed length (pieces of a chosen duration).

What formats are supported?

MP4, MOV, WebM, and MKV, up to 2 GB per file. Exported clips keep the original format.

Does splitting reduce the video quality?

No. VidTools copies the original streams without re-encoding, so clips keep the exact quality, resolution, and codec of the source.

How do I split a video into equal parts?

Choose equal-parts mode, set how many clips you want, preview them, and export — VidTools divides the video evenly.

Can I split a video for WhatsApp status or Instagram?

Yes. Use fixed-length mode and set the limit (30s for WhatsApp status, 15s for stories, 90s for reels), then post each clip in order.

Is the video splitter free?

Yes, it's completely free with no sign-up, no watermark, and no hidden limits.

Why is there a file-size limit?

Splitting runs in your browser using your device's memory, so a 2 GB cap keeps things fast and stable.

Your video never leaves your device

Most online splitters upload your file to a server, cut it there, and ask you to trust their data policy. VidTools does not — everything runs inside this browser tab.
