Trim, compress, and upscale videos

A free and open source video editor and compressor for Windows and Linux, powered by FFmpeg. Cut videos without re‑encoding, edit audio, crop, resize, and compress to a target file size.

The Tuck editor: two videos in the Library, the player, the Inspector with crop and audio track controls, and a timeline where the middle of the clip is removed and a music track is added.

Cut out what you don’t need

Playback skips the parts you removed, so you can watch the finished video before you export it. If your recording has separate game and mic audio, each gets its own row with its own volume.

Press S to cut at the playhead.

The timeline in three parts with a small gap between each, the middle part selected to be removed, and a music track under the whole clip.

Crop and resize

Drag a crop frame right on the video, or pick a shape like 9:16 for vertical video. You can also rotate it, flip it, or change its size.

Target file size

When a chat app or website has an upload limit, tell Tuck the limit, like 20 or 50 MB, and it sets the quality so the video fits. You can save the settings you use often as a profile.

The Export tab with the Discord Free profile and a 20 MB target size, with 20, 50, 200, and 500 MB presets.

Lossless cut

Cut a video without re‑encoding it, so it keeps its original quality and exports much faster. Each part starts on a keyframe, so it can begin a moment after where you cut. When that matters, switch to Exact.

Press [ and ] to jump between keyframes on the timeline.

Lossless cut in the Inspector: Precision set to On keyframes, with Exact as the other choice, and the two kept parts listed with their times.

Questions

Is Tuck free?
Yes, and it’s open source. The code is on GitHub under the GPL v3. If Tuck saves you time, you can support it on GitHub Sponsors or Buy Me a Coffee.
Do I need to install FFmpeg?
No, it comes with Tuck. If you’d rather use your own copy, choose it in Settings > Media tools.
Why does Windows warn me when I install Tuck?
The installer isn’t code signed yet, so Windows may say “Windows protected your PC.” Click More info, then Run anyway. If you want to be sure, check the file against its checksum first.
How do I report a problem?
Open an issue on GitHub. If an export failed, copy the Diagnostic report from Settings > About and paste it in. Tuck leaves your file paths out of it.
