Record, trim & compress video
Record your screen, trim and compress video, grab a frame, or pull out the audio track — free, fast, and built to run entirely in your browser.
What are video tools?
Video tools cover the everyday edits that come up around video without needing a full editing suite — recording a screen for a quick walkthrough, trimming a clip down to the useful part, compressing a file so it's small enough to send, or grabbing a single frame as an image. These are quick, one-off jobs, and installing a desktop app for each of them adds more friction than the task deserves.
Every tool in this collection runs using the browser's built-in media APIs — the screen recorder uses getDisplayMedia() to capture a tab, window, or the full screen with optional microphone audio, while the trimmer, compressor, frame grabber, and audio extractor all read and re-encode video locally using the Web Codecs and Canvas APIs. Nothing is uploaded to a server to be processed; the video file stays on the device from start to finish, and the result downloads directly back out.
Who uses these tools, and for what
Anyone recording a tutorial, bug report, or walkthrough reaches for the screen recorder to capture exactly what's on screen without installing separate recording software. The video trimmer is useful for cutting a longer recording down to the relevant clip before sharing it, and the video compressor helps when a file is too large to email or upload as-is. The frame grabber pulls a single still image out of a video — useful for a thumbnail or a reference shot — and the audio extractor separates the soundtrack from a video file when only the audio is actually needed.
Why they're free, fast, and private by default
Screen recordings and personal video clips often contain something sensitive — an open inbox in the background, an unreleased product, a private conversation caught on camera. Every tool here processes video entirely client-side: recording, trimming, compressing, and extracting all happen in the browser tab, with nothing uploaded to a server or retained after the tab closes. That also avoids the long upload times video files usually mean elsewhere — processing starts the moment a file is loaded, not after it finishes uploading.
That's the standard behind this category — free, fast because there's no upload step, and private because the video never has to leave the device. New video tools are added here as they're built.
