Split Video for WhatsApp Status
WhatsApp cuts Status videos off at 90 seconds — so a 5-minute recording needs splitting first. SplitVideo's Shorts Studio divides any video into 90-second, status-ready parts in one go: free, no watermark, right in your browser.
The 90-second problem, solved
Anything longer than 90 seconds gets trimmed by WhatsApp, and the ending — usually the point — is what disappears. Splitting beforehand means every part lands intact, in order, as a multi-part status series your contacts can tap through.
How to do it
- Open the Shorts Studio and drop in your video.
- Choose Every X sec mode and tap the 90s preset (use 30s or 60s for punchier updates).
- Pick 9:16 so each part fills the phone screen vertically.
- Split, download the parts, and post them to your Status in order.
Why not just let WhatsApp trim it?
WhatsApp's built-in trimmer only keeps the first 90 seconds and discards the rest. Pre-splitting gives you all of the video as consecutive statuses — better for event recordings, speeches, match highlights, and anything where the ending matters.
FAQ
What is the WhatsApp Status video length limit?
WhatsApp Status videos can be up to 90 seconds each. If your video is longer, split it into 90-second (or shorter) parts and post them as a multi-part status series.
How do I split a long video for WhatsApp Status?
Open SplitVideo's Shorts Studio, drop in your video, and use the Every X sec mode with the 90s preset (or 30s/60s for shorter updates). Split once, download all parts, and share them to your status in order.
Will the video quality drop when I share to WhatsApp?
WhatsApp compresses status videos. Starting from a clean, high-quality split — use the High quality 9:16 setting — gives you the best possible result after WhatsApp's compression.
