Why it's better

Only your clip is downloaded

A minute from a two-hour video is ready in seconds. No full download, no waiting.

Original quality, up to 4K

Stream-copy cuts keep the source quality untouched. Free accounts get 720p HD.

Frame-accurate

Type times to a tenth of a second, nudge ±0.1 s, or switch to Exact frame mode.

Video or audio

MP4 and WebM video, or MP3, M4A, OGG and Opus audio.

Re-download for 24 hours

Every clip gets a shareable link. Close the tab; it keeps processing.

Not just YouTube

Also works with Vimeo, TikTok, X, Facebook and hundreds of other sites.

Questions

›Is YT Cutter free?

Yes. Without an account you get 3 clips a day; a free account gets 10 clips a day in up to 720p HD, clips up to 15 minutes, and no watermark. Pro ($2.99/month or $24/year) adds unlimited clips, up to 4K and clips up to 2 hours.

›Do I have to download the whole video first?

No. Only the part between your start and end time is fetched, so a one-minute clip from a two-hour video is ready in seconds.

›Is the quality reduced?

"Original quality" mode copies the video stream without re-encoding, so the clip looks exactly like the source (up to 4K on Pro). "Exact frame" mode re-encodes in high quality so the clip starts on the exact frame you chose.

›Which formats can I download?

Video as MP4 or WebM, audio as MP3, M4A, OGG or Opus.

›How long is my clip available?

Finished clips can be downloaded (and re-downloaded or shared by link) for 24 hours. Signed-in users see them under My clips.

›Can I cut private or age-restricted videos?

No. Only public videos that play without signing in can be cut.

›Does it work on my phone?

Yes. It runs in the browser on iPhone, Android, tablets and computers, with nothing to install.
