LosslessCut is a cross-platform desktop GUI built on FFmpeg for lossless trimming, cutting, merging, and track editing of video, audio, and subtitle files. It performs near-instant operations by directly copying data streams without re-encoding, preserving original quality.

Use cases

  • trim large GoPro or drone videos without re-encoding
  • cut commercials out of recorded TV files losslessly
  • merge clips from the same camera into one file
  • extract audio or subtitle tracks from a video
  • add a music or subtitle track to a video file
  • remux a video into a different container format
  • take full-resolution screenshots from video

When to choose

  • you need fast cuts without quality loss or re-encoding
  • you want a simple GUI instead of hand-writing FFmpeg commands
  • you need to extract, combine, or remove individual tracks
  • you work with large camera footage and want to save disk space quickly

When to avoid

  • you need transitions, effects, or color grading
  • you require frame-accurate cuts at arbitrary points (lossless cuts snap to keyframes)
  • you need a full timeline-based video editor
  • your files have mismatched codec parameters for merging
