Add media
Drop in local video or audio files and create fragments from the exact parts you need. The original files stay untouched.
Desktop media playback for video and audio fragments
Build precise playlists from fragments of your media.
Fragments helps you trim source files, arrange fragments, preview playback, recover missing media, and export the result as MP4 or GIF.
MP4/GIF export uses FFmpeg. The Linux Flatpak includes it; Windows and macOS users should install FFmpeg. Your original media files are not modified.

Workflow
From source files to a playback sequence.
Trim visually
Scrub the source and drag start/end handles to mark the fragment range with millisecond precision.
Arrange playback
Reorder fragments, add labels and notes, tune delay, volume, speed, and audio state per item.
Preview or export
Play the scripted sequence live, export a normalized MP4, or create a shareable GIF preview without modifying the source media.
Features
Built around fragments, not timelines.
Fragments is for preparing repeatable playback from many small snippets. It keeps every fragment editable and readable, so you can make quick changes without opening a full video editor. The original source files stay untouched.
Fragment labels and notes
Name fragments in human terms and keep context beside the timing data.
Recent playlists
Reopen recent JSON projects from the Project menu.
Validated JSON
Saved playlists use a documented JSON structure and are checked when opened.
Missing media recovery
Relink one missing source or scan a folder to recover files by name.
Draft preview
Adjust a range, preview it immediately, and save only when the edit feels right.
Export
Render a playlist when live playback is not enough.
MP4 output
Exports a combined H.264/AAC video. Mixed source resolutions and frame rates are normalized to 1280x720 at 30 fps.
GIF preview
Creates a looping animated GIF with adjustable frame rate and low, medium, or high quality presets using palette generation for cleaner colors.
Consistent timing
Fragment delay becomes colored/silent space before playback starts. Audio-only fragments render over the chosen delay color.
Install
Pick your platform package.
Windows
Download the ZIP, extract it, and run fragments.exe. Keep the extracted files together.
macOS
Download the DMG, open it, and move Fragments to Applications. Public releases should be signed and notarized.
Linux
Install Fragments with Flatpak. The package includes Qt, GStreamer, and FFmpeg — no extra dependencies needed.
flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists fragments \
