№ 02 / Why MP4
The clip, not the whole video.
Most tools hand you the entire video and leave the trimming to you — so you wait for a file you mostly throw away, then open an editor to cut the two minutes you actually wanted. This does the cut first: you mark in and out, and what arrives is only that part, already an MP4 that plays anywhere and drops straight onto an editing timeline.
Cuts are precise to the second by default. If you would rather have it fast than frame-perfect, fast mode skips re-encoding entirely and returns a stream-copied MP4 in seconds, aligned to the nearest keyframe in the source.

MP4 FAQ
How do I cut a YouTube video and download it as MP4?
Paste the video link, set the start and end times with the slider or by typing them, leave the format on MP4, and download. Only the part you selected is produced — you never download the whole video first.
Is the MP4 watermarked?
No. The MP4 comes out clean, with no watermark, no intro, and no ads burned into the frame. It imports straight into Premiere, Final Cut and DaVinci Resolve.
Can I trim a YouTube video to MP4 without installing software?
Yes. The whole thing runs in the browser — nothing to install and nothing to sign up for before you try it. It works the same on Windows, macOS, iPhone, iPad and Android.
Can I crop a YouTube video to MP4, not just trim it?
Yes. As well as trimming the length you can reframe the picture — pick the 9:16 vertical option and the crop keeps the speaker or the action centred while it reshapes a widescreen video for Shorts, Reels and TikTok. You still get an MP4.
Can I cut several parts and get one MP4?
Yes. Add as many cuts as you need from the same video, then switch on stitch and they come back joined into a single MP4 instead of a ZIP of separate clips. Useful for highlight reels without opening an editor.
Is this a free YouTube to MP4 cutter?
You can paste a link and set your start and end times for free; downloading the finished MP4 is part of a paid plan (one-off from €9, no subscription). In return there are no ads, no malware, and no watermark on the file — unlike most free cutters.
