Frequently asked questions

How do I extract an image from a video?

Drop the video into the box above, pause or scrub to the moment you want, use the arrow buttons to step frame by frame, then click Capture frame. The picture is saved at the full resolution of the video as PNG or JPG.

Is the image the same quality as the video?

Yes. The frame is taken at the video’s own resolution — a 4K video gives a 3840×2160 image, a 1080p video gives 1920×1080. Choose PNG for no extra compression, or JPG for a smaller file.

Can I extract all frames or one every few seconds?

Yes. Set “Every N seconds” and click Grab frames. The tool walks through the whole video (or your start and end range) and lists every frame. Download them one by one or all at once as a ZIP.

Can I paste a video link instead of uploading?

Yes, if the link points straight to a video file, such as a link ending in .mp4 or .webm. Some websites block other pages from reading their videos; in that case download the video first and drop the file in.

Does it work with YouTube, Instagram or TikTok links?

No. Those sites do not give out the video file, so no browser tool can read frames from them. If you have the right to use the video, save it to your device first and drop the file here.

Which video formats are supported?

Anything your browser can play: MP4, MOV from iPhone, WebM and M4V in every modern browser, plus MKV in Chrome and Edge. Very old formats such as AVI or WMV may not play.

Is my video uploaded anywhere?

No. The video is played and the frames are captured inside your browser. Nothing is sent to our server, and there is no file size limit.

Does it work on iPhone and Android?

Yes. Open this page in Safari or Chrome on your phone, choose a video from your gallery and capture the frame. Long-press or use the Download button to save the picture.
