How VideoVinci works
VideoVinci is a set of free video tools that work inside your web browser. Drop a video at the top of this page, and the site asks what you want to do with it: trim it, make it smaller, change its format, add music or something else. The tool opens with your file already loaded.
There is nothing to install and no account to create. The processing happens on your own computer or phone, so a long video does not have to travel to a server and back. Once a page has loaded, it keeps working even if your internet connection drops. Results have no watermark and no length limit, although very long or 4K videos take more time on slower computers.
Edit a video
The editing tools each do one job well and show a live preview before you save anything:
- Trim, cut out middle parts, split a long recording into pieces, or merge several clips into one.
- Resize for YouTube, TikTok, Reels or Instagram, crop away edges, rotate a sideways phone video or flip a mirrored selfie.
- Change the speed, play a clip backwards, loop it, mute it, or fix the colours.
- Remove the background behind a person with AI, without a green screen.
For bigger projects, the online video editor has a multi-track timeline with clips, photos, music, text and transitions.
Add, enhance and create
You can put text, pictures, music, subtitles, filters and animated effects on top of any video. Subtitles are made by speech recognition that runs in the browser, and the translate video tool turns them into another language.
If you are starting from nothing, make a video from a single photo with image to video, build a slideshow with music, record your screen or webcam, or start from a ready template for ads, intros and memes. The stock video library searches free clips from Pexels that you can download or open straight in the editor.
Convert and compress
The converters read MP4, MOV, WEBM, MKV, AVI, FLV, WMV, 3GP, MPEG and GIF, and write any of them. Start from the MP4 converter or the page for your format. When the codecs inside already fit the new format, the file is repackaged without re-encoding, which takes seconds and keeps the full quality. There are also pages that save only the sound as MP3, WAV, M4A and other audio formats.
To shrink a file for email, WhatsApp or Discord, use compress video. You can choose a quality level or a target size, and it shows how much space you saved.
Your files stay with you
Most online video sites upload your clip, process it on their servers and keep a copy for a while. VideoVinci does not. Videos, photos and recordings are read and saved by your browser alone. This matters for family videos, school projects, work meetings and anything else you would rather not share with a stranger.
A few tools need extra parts the first time you use them, such as the AI model for background removal or speech recognition. These come from our own server, are stored by the browser and are reused next time. Among the tools, only the stock search sends anything out: the words you type go through our server to Pexels, which returns matching clips.
