Why change video speed?
Speeding up or slowing down footage is essential for tutorials, timelapses, dramatic slow-motion effects, and fitting long recordings into shorter clips. A 2x speed-up cuts a 10-minute screencast in half without losing information, while 0.25x slow motion reveals details invisible to the naked eye — perfect for sports analysis, wildlife footage, or product demos.
Common use cases
Creating timelapse videos from long security or dashcam recordings. Speeding up coding tutorials or cooking walkthroughs so viewers stay engaged. Adding cinematic slow-motion to action shots or drone footage. Syncing video duration to a specific audio track or presentation length. Previewing edits faster during video production workflows.
How it works
Our tool re-encodes your video at the chosen speed using FFmpeg compiled to WebAssembly — everything runs in your browser with no server upload. The audio pitch is preserved at every speed to keep dialogue intelligible. Supports MP4, MOV, WebM, MKV and AVI inputs. Output is always MP4 (H.264) for maximum compatibility. Processing time depends on the video's length and resolution and on your device's CPU — about the length of the result for a 720p video on a recent computer.
