NiftyCut Video Editor
A free online video editor that runs in your browser. Cut and arrange clips on a multi-track timeline, add free NiftyShelf music, titles and subtitles, turn long videos into 9:16 Shorts, and export MP4 — no sign-up, no upload.
💻 Works best in Chrome or Edge on a computer. Your browser can’t encode MP4, so videos will be saved as WebM instead. For MP4, use Chrome or Edge.

FAQ
Are my videos uploaded to a server?
No. Editing and exporting happen entirely in your browser. Your project and files are saved only in this browser’s storage on your device, so you can close the tab and continue later.
Can I use NiftyShelf music in my video?
Yes. Every track in the Music tab is free for personal and commercial use, including monetized YouTube videos. NiftyCut shows a ready-made credit line when you export — paste it into your description.
How do I turn a long video into a Short?
Shift+drag on the timeline ruler to select a range, then click “Make a Short”. NiftyCut copies that part into a new 9:16 project and lets you slide the crop left or right. Keep it to 60 seconds or less for Shorts, Reels and TikTok.
Which browsers can export MP4?
Recent Chrome and Edge on a computer export MP4 (H.264 video, AAC audio) faster than real time. Other browsers save a WebM file in real time instead.
