What Is Video Splitter?

The Video Splitter is a free browser-based tool that divides a video into multiple segments at your chosen time points. Add split markers on the video timeline, preview each segment, and download them individually. It's perfect for breaking long recordings into chapters, creating multiple social media clips from one video, or dividing content for easier management. The tool uses HTML5 Video and Canvas with MediaRecorder for capturing each segment. All processing happens locally on your device — no files are uploaded to any server.

Why Use Video Splitter?

  • Split videos into any number of segments
  • Visual timeline with easy-to-place split markers
  • No server uploads — complete privacy
  • Download each segment individually

Technical Guide

The Video Splitter loads the video and provides a timeline interface for placing split markers. When splitting, it processes each segment sequentially by seeking the video to each segment's start time and recording via Canvas + MediaRecorder until the segment's end time. Each segment is captured as a separate blob, then offered for individual download. The tool uses the video's seeked event for accurate positioning and requestAnimationFrame for frame capture timing. Audio is captured via Web Audio API's createMediaElementSource and routed to a MediaStreamDestination for synchronized recording. Progress feedback is shown for each segment as it processes.
