Frequently Asked Questions
How long can a WhatsApp Status video be?
WhatsApp Status videos can be a maximum of 30 seconds long. If your video is longer, you need to split it into multiple 30-second clips and post each one as a separate status.
Why can't I download individual clips directly?
Browsers don't allow JavaScript to write/encode video files due to security and performance limits. True video splitting requires server-side processing or a native app. This tool gives you the exact time codes and FFmpeg commands to do it instantly on your computer.
What video format does WhatsApp Status accept?
WhatsApp Status accepts MP4 (H.264) video. Maximum size is 16MB per clip. Keep your clips under 30 seconds to stay within limits.
How do I use FFmpeg to split my video?
Install FFmpeg (free, ffmpeg.org), then paste the commands this tool generates into your Terminal or Command Prompt. Each command extracts one 30-second clip losslessly in seconds.
Can I use a different clip length?
Yes! Use the dropdown to select 15s (Instagram), 60s (YouTube Shorts), or enter any custom duration. The tool recalculates all segments automatically.
