Rekreate's free video splitter cuts one long video into equal parts in a single step.
Choose how long each part should be, and download every part together as a zip. Every part starts exactly on its boundary, so nothing is duplicated or lost between clips.
Why use this free video splitter
Split a video into equal parts
Pick a length from 5 seconds to 10 minutes and the whole video is divided into parts of that length.
Exact boundaries, no overlap
Each part starts where the previous one ends — no repeated second, no missing frame.
All parts in one zip
Download every clip at once, numbered in order: part_000, part_001, part_002.
Split long videos online
Nothing to install. Works in the browser on computers and phones.
No watermark on any part
Every clip is clean and ready to post.
Works with phone videos
Vertical iPhone and Android videos stay vertical in every part.
How to split a video in 3 steps
Upload the video
Drop the file into the box at the top or tap to choose one.
Choose the part length
Type how many seconds each part should be — 15 for Stories, 30 for Status, 60 for most short-form feeds.
Download the zip
Press Start and download all the parts together.
What splitting produces
Split videos for any destination
Split video for Instagram Stories
Stories show short clips one after another. Split into 15-second parts and post them in order.
Split video for WhatsApp Status
Status clips are short too. Parts of 30 seconds or less post without cropping.
Split a video to email it
Shorter parts are smaller files that fit under attachment limits.
Split a lecture or course into lessons
Divide a long recording into chunks people can watch one at a time.
Split MP4 and MOV files
MP4, MOV, WebM, MKV and AVI in — MP4 parts out.
Split a video into TikTok parts
Break a long story into Part 1, Part 2, Part 3 for a series.
Use the video splitter on any device
On Windows PC and Mac
Split videos in any browser on Windows or Mac and download the zip to your computer.
On iPhone and Android
On iPhone or Android, choose a video from your gallery. The zip downloads to your Files app; open it to save the parts.
In any modern browser
Chrome, Safari, Edge and Firefox all work. There is no app, plugin or extension to install — the processing happens on our servers, so an old laptop is as fast as a new one.
Safe, private and free
No account, no sign-up
Open the page and use it. There is nothing to register and no email address to hand over.
Files deleted automatically
Your upload is deleted the moment processing finishes, and the result 60 minutes later. Files are not shared, published or used for anything else.
Encrypted in transit
Uploads and downloads go over HTTPS, the same encryption your bank uses in the browser.
No watermark, ever
The file you download is clean. No logo in the corner, no intro card, no "made with" frame at the end.
Video splitter vs other ways to split a video
vs. trimming each part by hand
Ten parts means ten trims and ten exports. The splitter makes all of them in one go.
vs. desktop editors
An editor can split a timeline, but exporting each piece separately is slow and easy to get wrong.
vs. apps that split automatically
Many Story-splitter apps add a watermark or require a subscription. This one is free and clean.
Popular uses for the video splitter
Post a long video as a Story series
Split into 15-second parts and post them back to back.
Share a video on WhatsApp Status
Break a long clip into Status-sized parts.
Make a multi-part TikTok series
Turn one recording into Part 1, 2 and 3 to keep viewers coming back.
Send a big video by email
Smaller parts get through attachment limits.
Chapter a course or webinar
Divide a long recording into lessons of equal length.
How the video splitter works
Your video is uploaded over HTTPS and processed on Rekreate's servers with FFmpeg. The splitter places a keyframe exactly on every boundary, encodes the video once, and writes a new MP4 each time it crosses a boundary — which is why every part starts on the exact second instead of drifting.
The parts are packed into one zip for a single download. Your upload is deleted as soon as processing finishes, and the zip 60 minutes later.
