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. Audio pitch is preserved during moderate speed changes (0.5x–2x) to keep dialogue intelligible. Supports MP4, MOV, WebM, and MKV inputs. Output is always MP4 (H.264) for maximum compatibility. Processing time depends on file size and your device's CPU — a 100 MB clip typically completes in under 30 seconds on modern hardware.
