Frequently Asked Questions

How do I save a clip from a YouTube video?
Paste a YouTube URL into the box on this page, click “Get Video”, then drag the start and end sliders to select your clip. Pick your quality and click “Save Clip” — your MP4 will save automatically.
Do I need to save the whole video first?
No. SliceYT fetches only the exact clip you selected — not the full video. It trims and encodes your clip on the server and sends you just the part you want.
Is SliceYT free to use?
Yes — SliceYT is completely free for clips up to 2 minutes long. No account required, no watermark added, and no limit on the number of clips you can export.
Can I trim YouTube videos for TikTok or Instagram Reels?
Yes. SliceYT exports clean MP4 files you can upload directly to TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, or any other platform. You can also import the file into any video editor for further cropping or resizing.
What video formats does SliceYT support?
SliceYT exports in MP4 (H.264 video, AAC audio) — the most universally compatible format. Your clip will open in CapCut, Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro, and any media player without conversion.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes. SliceYT works in any modern mobile browser on iPhone or Android — no app to install. The clip will save to your phone’s files or camera roll depending on your browser settings.
Is there a limit on how many clips I can save?
There is no limit on the number of clips. On the free plan each clip must be 2 minutes or shorter. Creator Pro plans allow clips up to 2 hours depending on quality.
What is the easiest way to cut a YouTube video online?
SliceYT. Paste your YouTube link, drag the sliders to your start and end points, and hit Save Clip. The whole process takes about 30 seconds and requires no account or software installation.
Can I save just the audio from a YouTube video?
Yes — select MP3 under the Audio Only section in the quality picker. SliceYT will extract just the audio from your selected clip and export it as an MP3 file. No video, smaller file size, perfect for podcasts, music clips, and speeches.
Can I export a specific part of a YouTube video as MP3?
Yes, and this is one of SliceYT’s biggest advantages. Most YouTube to MP3 tools convert the entire video. SliceYT lets you set exact start and end timestamps and export only that section as MP3 — ideal for clipping a podcast highlight, a song section, or a specific quote.
Is it legal to use SliceYT?
SliceYT is a tool for saving content you own or have rights to — such as your own videos, Creative Commons content, or content you have explicit permission to use. We do not condone saving copyrighted content without permission.
