Client-side video thumbnail clipping using FFmpeg compiled to WebAssembly.
FFmpeg WebAssembly Clipper is a browser-based tool that allows users to clip thumbnails from local video files — entirely client-side. Built with FFmpeg.wasm, this project eliminates the need for file uploads or server processing by running FFmpeg directly in the browser via WebAssembly.
This project explores the potential of high-performance native tools like FFmpeg being ported to the web. It demonstrates the power of WebAssembly for enabling complex video operations within the browser sandbox, without any backend dependencies.
Users can load local video files, scrub through frames, and extract high-resolution thumbnail clips in seconds — ideal for developers, content creators, or media platforms seeking lightweight tooling.
100% client-side FFmpeg video processing using FFmpeg.wasm.
Efficient video loading and frame extraction with zero upload delay.
Interactive UI with real-time video scrubbing and frame preview.
No server — ideal for privacy and portability.
Modular setup ready for expanding to trim/crop/transcode workflows.
