Private browser video tools

Trim, compress & convert video

Make a video smaller, trim a clip, change its frame, or save its audio. Choose a task below, then pick a file. Your browser checks format and codec support.

Your video stays on this device. No upload, account, or server-side processing job.

Check video details

See the size, duration, format, and tracks before editing.

Compress video

Make a smaller video for sharing or uploading.

Trim video

Keep the part you need with a start and end time.

Convert to MP4

Create an MP4 using codecs your browser supports.

Crop or resize video

Choose a square, portrait, or landscape frame.

Video to MP3

Save the audio from a video as an MP3 file.

Prepare an app preview

Check and prepare a video for App Store requirements.

Browser-local workspace

Choose a local video to begin.

Choose one local MP4, M4V, MOV, or WebM file. JavaScript activates a browser-native preview and capability check; available conversions depend on the codecs supported by this device.

No upload, account, or server-side media job.

The local workspace loads after you choose a video.

One focused workspace for common video fixes

Choose a local video, review its observable dimensions, duration, bytes, and playback support, then set one clear goal: make an MP4, reduce its size, trim a clip, change its frame, extract audio, or prepare an App Store Preview. This is not a general timeline editor or a cloud converter.

Smallest valid local change first

The local worker inspects first and can retain compatible tracks before a re-encode. When a codec or container cannot be handled on this browser, Aftermath reports that limitation instead of uploading the file to a fallback service.

Large files use a lighter inspection path

The first preview uses a local Blob URL and reads the metadata needed for a decision. Processing is deliberately bounded: one output stays in browser memory, so files above 500 MB remain available for inspection but need a smaller clip or a dedicated desktop workflow for output operations.

Private browser processing

Your video remains in your hands.

Aftermath reads selected video bytes only in the current browser. Unsupported codecs are reported clearly rather than sent to another service. High-resolution conversion can use substantial device battery and processing.

Read the processing boundary

Choose a tool

Choose a local video workflow for compression, trimming, MP4 conversion, audio extraction, or read-only inspection. The browser accepts supported MP4, M4V, MOV, or WebM sources and keeps the selected file in this session. Processing routes create a separately downloaded result; inspection reports container, tracks, dimensions, timing, and playback facts without creating output. Output jobs keep one completed result in browser memory and are limited to 500 MB; read-only inspection accepts sources up to 4 GB. Codec and device support vary.

What to choose and what you get

What to choose

  • one MP4, M4V, MOV, or WebM video supported by the current browser codecs

Result

  • a local video report or a separately downloaded video/audio result according to the selected task

Browser support and permissions

  • Modern browser with JavaScript; the selected route states any file, codec, device, or permission requirement. Read-only inspection accepts sources up to 4 GB; output operations keep one completed result in browser memory and are limited to 500 MB.
  • No camera, microphone, or screen permission is needed.

If it does not work

  • Codec or browser limits can produce a warning instead of a downloadable result.

Things to know

  • Codec support, performance, and memory use vary by browser, device, source, and operation.

Privacy boundary

Selected file bytes and entered browser data remain in the current browser session and are not sent to an Aftermath processing service. How local processing is verified.

What this tool verifies

Checks the displayed limits and reports or creates a local video report or a separately downloaded video/audio result according to the selected task from one MP4, M4V, MOV, or WebM video supported by the current browser codecs.

Check before sharing

A local measurement or export does not guarantee acceptance by an external destination.
