A video splitter that cuts losslessly. Because it uses passthrough rather than re-encoding, a long clip becomes story-length segments in seconds with no quality loss, no watermark and no upload.

Splitting a video for stories usually means re-encoding it, which costs minutes of battery and a visible generation of quality. StoryChop uses AVFoundation passthrough instead: the container is rewritten around the existing encoded frames, so the operation is close to a file copy and the output is bit-identical in quality to the source.

Verified, not assumed

A ninety-five second source is split and the resulting files are measured: 30.00, 30.00, 30.00 and 5.00 seconds, present in the camera roll. Durations are asserted from the exported assets rather than from what the UI claimed it did.

4 capabilities
Lossless passthrough
Segments are cut without re-encoding, so quality is preserved and the operation takes seconds.
Exact segment lengths
Durations are measured on the exported files, not estimated from the timeline.
No watermark
Nothing is branded onto the output.
Fully offline
Video never leaves the device.
Screens

Captures of StoryChop are pending. We would rather show you nothing than a drawing of a screen that was never photographed.
