LosslessCut

The Swiss Army Knife of Lossless Video/Audio Editing·losslesscut.app

LosslessCut is a desktop application for lossless editing of video and audio files, allowing users to trim, cut, merge, and remux media without re-encoding or losing quality. It works by cutting the data stream directly and copying it over instead of re-encoding the whole file. It runs on macOS, Windows, and Linux, and is distributed both as a free download from GitHub and as a paid version on app stores.
