The main feature is lossless trimming and cutting of video and audio files, which is great for saving space by rough-cutting your large video files taken from a video camera, GoPro, drone, etc. It lets you quickly extract the good parts from your videos and discard many gigabytes of data without doing a slow re-encode and thereby losing quality. Or you can add a music or subtitle track to your video without needing to encode. Everything is extremely fast because it does an almost direct data copy, fueled by the awesome ffmpeg which does all the grunt work. ### Package name * losslesscut --- ### License * GPL-2.0-only --- ### Last updated * 19 October 2026 - latest/stable * 19 October 2026 - latest/edge --- ### Websites * [losslesscut.app](https://losslesscut.app/ "https://losslesscut.app/") --- ### Contact * [finstaden@gmail.com](mailto:finstaden@gmail.com "mailto:finstaden@gmail.com") --- ### Source code * [github.com/mifi/lossless-cut](https://github.com/mifi/lossless-cut "https://github.com/mifi/lossless-cut") --- ### Report a bug * [github.com/mifi/lossless-cut/issues](https://github.com/mifi/lossless-cut/issues "https://github.com/mifi/lossless-cut/issues") --- ##### Report a Snap Store violation * [Report this Snap](https://snapcraft.io/install/losslesscut/arch#report-snap-modal) --- ## Enable snaps on Arch Linux and install LosslessCut Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully. Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions. ### Enable snapd On Arch Linux, snap can be installed from the [Arch User Repository (AUR).](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/snapd/) The [manual build process](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Installing_packages) is the Arch-supported install method for AUR packages, and you’ll need the [prerequisites](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Prerequisites) installed before you can install any AUR package. You can then install snap with the following: ``` git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/snapd.git cd snapd makepkg -si ``` Once installed, the *systemd* unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled: ``` sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket ``` If [AppArmor](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AppArmor) is enabled in your system, enable the service which loads AppArmor profiles for snaps: ``` sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor.service ``` To enable *classic* snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between `/var/lib/snapd/snap` and `/snap`: ``` sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap ``` Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly. ### Install LosslessCut To install LosslessCut, simply use the following command: ``` sudo snap install losslesscut ``` ### Other popular snaps… [See more...](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) [See more in Featured](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) ### More things to do… #### [Get the snap store](https://snapcraft.io/snap-store) Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap. #### [Learn more about snaps](https://snapcraft.io/docs) Interested to find out more about snaps?
