Clip your personal media.

Self-hosted clipping for Plex, Jellyfin, and local files. Trim video, add subtitles, and export video, audio, or GIFs in your browser.

Documentation

Features

• Live session discovery: Follow playback automatically from connected Plex and Jellyfin servers.
• Open local videos: Clip local files without uploading them. Direct media URLs require provider sign-in.
• Timeline editing: Trim, zoom, and fine-tune your clip range with a familiar non-linear editor.
• Video, audio, and GIF export: Choose video or audio-only formats, or make a GIF. Exports run in your browser.
• Metadata included: Keep source details, artwork, and clip timing in supported video and audio containers.
• Subtitle authoring: Create your own captions or import subtitles, then style and burn subtitles into your clip.

Quick start

Replace APP_KEY with a random secret of at least 32 characters; for example, generate one with openssl rand -base64 32. Keep the secret and data volume across updates. Changing APP_KEY requires reconnecting your media servers.

docker run -d \
  --name cliparr \
  -p 7171:7171 \
  -e APP_KEY="your-32-char-stable-random-secret" \
  -v cliparr-data:/data \
  ghcr.io/techsquidtv/cliparr:latest

PowerShell

docker run -d `
  --name cliparr `
  -p 7171:7171 `
  -e APP_KEY="your-32-char-stable-random-secret" `
  -v cliparr-data:/data `
  ghcr.io/techsquidtv/cliparr:latest

Use Docker with Linux containers.

Open http://localhost:7171, then connect a media server or choose Open Video for a local file. Access from other devices requires HTTPS for editing.
