About ClipTools
Free, private, browser-based video tools — built by people who think your files are nobody else’s business.
ClipTools is a growing collection of free online video tools that run entirely inside your web browser. There is nothing to install and nothing to sign up for. Whether you need to convert a video to MP3, compress a clip to email, trim a recording, or turn a moment into a GIF, you can do it here in seconds — and your file never leaves your device.
Why we built it
Most “online” video tools work by uploading your file to a server, processing it there, and sending it back. That is slow, it puts your private footage on someone else’s computer, and it usually comes wrapped in watermarks, sign-up walls, and file-size limits. We thought video tools should be faster, more private, and genuinely free.
Modern browsers changed what is possible. Using WebAssembly, we can run FFmpeg — the industry-standard media engine behind countless professional apps — directly on your device. That means full-quality conversion and editing with zero uploads.
What we believe
Privacy is the default
Your files are processed on your device, not ours. We could not see your videos even if we wanted to.
Built on real engineering
We run FFmpeg compiled to WebAssembly — the same battle-tested engine used by professional video software.
Free for everyone
No paywalls on the core tools, no watermarks, no “sign up to download”. Ads keep the lights on.
Made for real tasks
Every tool exists because people actually need it — from compressing a clip for WhatsApp to pulling audio from a lecture.
Who makes ClipTools
ClipTools is built and maintained by a small, independent team of web and video engineers with years of experience in browser technology and media processing. We test every tool against real-world files and keep the FFmpeg engine and the site itself continuously updated. We are committed to keeping the core tools free and private for the long run.
