Free video splitter
Turn one long video into short clips that are ready to post — vertical for TikTok, Reels and Shorts, square for feeds, or widescreen for YouTube. No account, no card, and your video is never uploaded.

Your video never leaves your computer
Most clip tools make you upload your footage to their servers and wait in a queue. This one doesn't. The cutting happens inside your browser, on your own device. Nothing is sent anywhere, so there is no upload wait, no queue, and no copy of your video sitting on somebody else's computer.
That also means it works on a plane, on bad hotel wifi, or with footage you would rather not hand to a stranger.
How it works
- Pick your video — or record straight from your webcam.
- Choose the clip length and the shapes you want (9:16, 1:1, 16:9).
- Press cut. The clips render on your device and download as normal MP4 files.
What you get
- Smart cuts — clip boundaries land on quiet moments rather than mid-sentence.
- Burned-in titles and an optional @handle watermark.
- Auto-captions — speech-to-text that also runs on your device (first use downloads the model, which takes a minute; after that it's instant).
- A YouTube thumbnail maker — grab any frame, add big hook text, export 1280×720.
Honest limits
Because everything runs in your browser rather than on a server:
- Use a laptop or desktop. Phones can manage short clips but will struggle with long files.
- A very long video takes a while — your computer is doing the work, not a data centre.
- Free clips carry a small "Made with oncecast.app" tag in the corner. Paid plans export clean.
Questions
Is it really free?
Yes — no account, no card, no trial timer. The splitter is free because it costs us nothing to
run: your computer does the work.
Do I need to sign up?
Not for the splitter. You only need an account if you want OnceCast to post the clips for you.
What happens to my video?
Nothing. It is read by your browser and never uploaded. Close the tab and it's gone.
And when you want the clips actually posted
Splitting is the free part. OnceCast is the rest: one press sends a finished clip to Instagram, YouTube and TikTok at once, schedules posts for later, answers your comments in your own voice, and writes the captions. There's a free plan for that too.
