Join two or more clips into one video in your browser. Free, no watermark, and your videos are never uploaded.
Videos are joined in this order. Add more or change the order below.
Done! Your file is ready.
DownloadPhones split events into many short clips. A wedding, a school function or a trip ends up as twenty separate files, and sending them one by one is slow and messy. This tool lets you merge videos online free and get one file you can post, send or keep. It works as a simple video joiner online: you add the clips, set the order and press Start. You can combine two videos, three videos or a whole folder of clips, from the same phone or from different ones. Unlike most sites that merge videos online, it does not upload anything. The joining runs inside your browser on your own computer or phone, so your clips stay private, there is no watermark on the result and you do not need an account. It works in current Chrome, Edge, Safari and Firefox.
The merger builds a brand new video frame by frame. First it reads the size of the first clip in your list. That size becomes the frame for the whole result, with one limit: if the short side is larger than 1080 pixels, the frame is scaled down so the short side is 1080 (a 4K landscape clip gives a 1920×1080 frame). Then it decodes every clip in order, draws each frame onto a black canvas of that size, fitted so the whole picture shows without stretching, and encodes it again (H.264 for MP4, MOV and MKV, VP9 for WebM). Each clip starts exactly where the previous clip ended.
The sound is handled separately. The audio of every clip is decoded and placed on one timeline at the moment its clip starts. A clip with no sound simply leaves a silent gap of the right length. The timeline is then encoded as 48 kHz stereo audio at 128 kbps (AAC, or Opus for WebM) and added to the video.
Worked example (our own test, 24 October 2026, Chrome on a desktop): we merged three clips in three different formats, an MP4, a WebM and a MOV. The result was one 13-second MP4 that played the three clips back to back, with sound from each one. The length of the result is the sum of the clip lengths, so a 5 s, 4 s and 4 s clip give 13 s.
Choose two or more videos at once, or pick one and use Add more videos to add the rest.
Move clips with the up and down arrows or remove one with ✕. The clip at the top plays first.
The clips are joined one after another. MP4 is the default; open More options to pick MOV, MKV or WebM.
Click Download to save the joined video, or Convert another file to start a new set.
The list shows every clip with its size. Move clips up or down or remove them, and they are joined exactly in that order.
Clips of a different shape are fitted onto the frame of the first video with black bars, so nothing is stretched or squashed.
Each clip’s sound starts exactly where its picture starts. A clip without sound gets silence, so later clips stay in sync.
Merging happens on your own device. No account, no logo on the result and no fixed limit on how many videos you join.
Merging two videos is the most common job, for example joining two halves of a recording that the phone split, or adding an intro before your main clip.
The first clip also sets the frame size, so if one clip is vertical and the other is landscape, put the one with the shape you want at the top.
There is no fixed maximum. You can merge 3 videos into 1, or many more. Select them all at once, or add them one by one with Add more videos. Each new clip goes to the end of the list. Use the arrows to put them in the right order and ✕ to remove a clip you added by mistake. You need at least two clips; with only one, the page asks you to add another.
Because everything happens in your device’s memory, the total length matters more than the number of clips. Ten short clips are easy. An hour of 1080p footage is heavy work for a phone and is better done on a laptop or desktop.
You can merge videos on iPhone without installing an app. Open this page in Safari or Chrome, tap the file box and select the clips from your photo library or from the Files app. Set the order and press Start. When it is done, tap Download. The joined video is saved to the Downloads folder in Files, and from there you can share it or save it to Photos.
This page is the “without app” option: it runs in the browser you already have. Keep Safari open and on screen while it works. If you switch apps, iOS may pause the tab and the merge takes longer.
On Android, open this page in Chrome, tap the file box and pick the videos from your gallery or file manager. Some gallery pickers let you tick several videos at once; if yours only allows one, choose the first clip and then use Add more videos for the rest. Press Start and download the result. It lands in your Downloads folder and shows up in most gallery apps.
Phones have less memory than computers. Files over about 1.5 GB can be slow or fail on a phone, and the page warns you when a file is that large.
On Windows, Mac or Linux, open this page in an up-to-date Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari. Drag all the clips onto the box at once, set the order and press Start. A computer is the fastest place to join long videos, and you do not need to install a video editor for this simple job.
Clips from different phones or apps often have different shapes: a vertical phone video, a landscape camera clip, a square video from a chat. The merger never stretches or crops. It uses the first clip’s frame for the whole video and fits every other clip inside it, filling the spare space with black bars (letterbox or pillarbox). The chart shows how much of the frame each clip shape fills.
| First clip | Output frame | A vertical 1080×1920 clip is drawn at | A landscape 1920×1080 clip is drawn at |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1920×1080 (landscape) | 1920×1080 | about 608×1080, bars left and right | full frame |
| 3840×2160 (4K landscape) | 1920×1080 (short side capped at 1080) | about 608×1080 | full frame |
| 1080×1920 (vertical) | 1080×1920 | full frame | about 1080×608, bars above and below |
| 1280×720 (720p) | 1280×720 | about 405×720 | 1280×720 (scaled down) |
Rule of thumb: if most of your clips are vertical, put a vertical clip at the top; if most are landscape, put a landscape clip at the top. If you want every clip in one shape before joining, change the odd ones first with the video cropper (fills the frame, cuts edges) or resize video (fits with bars).
The sound of each clip is kept and starts at the same moment as that clip’s picture. Screen recordings, some GIF-style videos and muted clips have no audio at all. For those parts the merger leaves silence of the right length, so the sound of the later clips still lines up with their picture. A stereo clip and a mono clip can be mixed in one merge; the result is always stereo.
If you want one song over the whole result, merge first and then use add music to video. If you want no sound at all, run the joined file through mute video.
The merger joins whole clips. It has no trim controls of its own. To remove a shaky start or a long ending, trim each clip first with the video cutter, then bring the trimmed clips here and join them. This two-step way gives you exact control over every cut, and both steps run in your browser.
Many free video joiners add their logo to the result or ask you to sign up before you can download. VidHaul does neither. There is no account, no logo on the video and no daily limit. If the joined file is too large to send on WhatsApp or by email, make it smaller afterwards with the video compressor.
MP4 is selected by default. To change it, open More options under the settings and pick another chip. Formats your browser cannot create are hidden automatically.
The clips you add can be in different formats. In our test an MP4, a WebM and a MOV were joined into one MP4. If a clip uses a codec your browser cannot open, the page tells you; converting it first with MOV to MP4 or WebM to MP4 usually solves it.
The order and timing are exact: each clip starts where the one before it ended, and the total length is the sum of the clip lengths, as in our 13-second test. A few honest limits:
Most online video joiners work by upload: you send every clip to their server, wait in a queue, and download the result again. With several large phone videos that can take longer than the merge itself, and your family or work footage sits on a stranger’s computer for a while. VidHaul uses the WebCodecs API, the video engine built into modern browsers, to decode and encode the clips on your own device. The page never sends your video anywhere, which you can check yourself: once you have pressed Start, the merge keeps going even if you switch off Wi-Fi.
The settings are not hidden either. The frame comes from your first clip, so you control the shape of the result by choosing which clip goes first. Clips are fitted, never stretched or cropped. Silent clips get real silence instead of being skipped, which is why the sound of later clips stays in sync. And the tool does only what this page describes: it does not add transitions, change the speed, or touch the colours of your video.
We test the tool in a real browser with real files and publish the results on this page. For the merger we check three things: that clips in different containers (MP4, WebM, MOV) can be joined in one run, that the output length equals the sum of the clip lengths (13 s in our test), and that each clip’s sound starts with its picture. The bar chart and table above are not measurements: they are computed from the fitting rule the code uses, so you can predict the result before you press Start.
What we do not measure: we do not run visual quality scores such as PSNR or VMAF on the output, and we do not time the merge, because speed depends heavily on your device and browser. The result card shows the total size of your clips before and the size of the joined file after, and Copy summary copies those numbers so you can keep a note of them.
