Speed up or slow down a video

Make a video faster or slower: speed through a long recording, make a time-lapse, or slow down a moment.

Open the tool, it's free

Pick a speed from 0.25× to 8×, or type any speed up to 16×, and see the new length straight away. Voices keep their natural pitch instead of turning into chipmunks, and you can drop the sound for time-lapses.

For really smooth slow motion, the slow-motion tool adds new frames with AI. This tool is the quick way to change the speed of the whole video.

What you get

How to speed up or slow down a video

  1. Open the speed tool and choose your video.
  2. Pick a speed.
  3. Choose whether to keep the sound.
  4. Press Save video.

Tip: Tutorials and screen recordings at 1.25× or 1.5× feel snappier without being hard to follow.

Questions

Can I speed up only part of a video?

Yes. Press Edit in the editor, split the clip and set the speed of just that piece. Speed ramps (slow to fast and back) are there too.

What is the maximum speed?

16×. Above 4× speech gets choppy, so most fast time-lapses look best without sound or with music.

Is my video uploaded?

No. Clipabay runs inside your browser, so your video is read and saved on your own computer or phone. Nothing is sent to a server, which is also why there is no upload wait.

Is it really free?

Yes. There is no account, no trial, no watermark and no limit on how many files you do. Clipabay is kept going by people who choose to buy us a coffee.
