Split a video without losing quality

Most video apps re-encode everything you export, softening the picture a little each time. ClipSplit's Original mode copies your video into parts exactly as it is.

ClipSplit splitting a video losslessly, 62% done.

Copy, don't re-encode

Re-encoding decodes every frame and compresses it again, which costs detail and time. A lossless split skips that: the parts are cut from the original video data without changing it. The resolution, frame rate, colours and sound are the ones your camera recorded.

That is also why it is fast. Most videos split in about a second, whatever their length.

Parts that still fit their limit

A lossless cut can only fall on certain frames. ClipSplit plans every part so none runs over the length or size you chose. If a video can't be cut that way, it switches to Exact mode on its own, which cuts on the exact frame and re-encodes only as needed to match the original quality.

Nothing added

No watermark, no logo, no end card. The parts are your video, shorter.

How to split a video losslessly

  1. Choose the video

    Open ClipSplit and pick the video.

  2. Keep quality on Original

    Leave the quality on Original, which is the default.

  3. Pick a length or size

    Choose seconds or MB for the parts.

  4. Split

    Tap Split. The badge shows Lossless copy while it works.

Good to know

  • Lossless parts are as large, per second, as the original. To make them smaller, choose Smaller or Smallest.
  • If the badge says Exact mode, ClipSplit is matching the original quality while cutting on exact frames. It takes longer but needs nothing from you.

Questions

Does it work with 4K and HDR video?

ClipSplit keeps the original resolution on Original, from SD up to 4K. Videos are copied as they are, so the picture is not altered.

Why is a part a little shorter than the length I chose?

Lossless cuts fall on the nearest point that can be copied without re-encoding, and ClipSplit always picks one inside your limit so the part fits.
