Cut a Video into Equal Parts of X Seconds

Two ways to cut equal parts

There are two natural ways to think about dividing a video, and the tool supports both.

By a fixed length (X seconds)

You set the seconds per part and the tool produces as many parts as fit. Enter 30 and a 4:30 video becomes nine 30-second parts. This matches hard platform limits — WhatsApp and Instagram status clips at 30 seconds, or any rule that says "no clip longer than N seconds." The boundaries are computed from the timeline, so the cuts are predictable: part one is 0–30 s, part two 30–60 s, and so on.

By a fixed count (N parts)

You set how many parts you want and the runtime is divided evenly. Choose 4 and a 10-minute video becomes four 2:30 parts. This is the better option when the number of pieces matters more than their exact length — a four-part series, a three-act breakdown, or a set you want to schedule across specific days.

Accurate boundaries without keyframe limits

Naive cutting tools that copy streams without re-encoding can only cut on keyframes, which forces boundaries to jump to the nearest I-frame and drift away from the time you asked for. Because this tool re-encodes each part from a canvas, every part starts precisely at the timestamp you set. The trade-off is that processing happens in real time — a part plays through once as it is recorded — but the result is frame-accurate and needs no keyframe alignment.

Numbered output, ready to schedule

Every part is named with a zero-padded index — clip-01, clip-02, clip-03 — so the order is unambiguous when you drop them into a scheduler or a folder. With more than one part, the tool bundles them into a single ZIP that downloads automatically. You can also reframe while cutting: leave the aspect ratio on 9:16 to get vertical parts, or set it to "Keep original ratio" to cut without changing the shape.
