Free Video & Audio Tools Online: Trim, Crop, Convert & More

Most people do not need a full video editing suite. They need to trim the awkward start off a screen recording, convert a podcast from WAV to MP3 before uploading it, or pull the audio out of a video for a presentation. These are small, one-off jobs that software like Premiere Pro is complete overkill for, and paying a monthly subscription to handle them occasionally makes no sense.

The free editing tools on FileReadyNow are built for exactly this kind of work. The audio trimmer lets you cut a recording down to the part you actually need, which is useful for cleaning up voice memos or shortening clips. The video trimmer does the same for footage without re-encoding the whole file. The audio extractor pulls the sound out of any MP4 or MOV and saves it as a standalone audio file you can use anywhere.

The format converters sort out compatibility issues between what you have and what a platform will accept. Convert MP4 to WebM for browser playback, M4A to MP3 for standard audio player support, or MP3 to WAV when a project needs uncompressed audio. Quality is kept as high as the target format allows.

Everything processes in your browser. Files are deleted right after, nothing is stored on the server, and no watermarks are added to video output. No account required. These tools are for the professional squeezing in a quick edit between meetings and the creator who just wants something that works without a learning curve.
