Video to Images
Grab still frames from a video, evenly spaced across the clip, and download them all as a ZIP of JPG or PNG images. Everything runs in your browser.
How to extract frames
- Drop in your video.
- Choose how many frames and the image format (JPG or PNG).
- Extract and download the frames as a ZIP.
About extracting frames
Turning a video into still images is handy for thumbnails, contact sheets, storyboards, picking the perfect freeze-frame, or grabbing a screenshot from a clip. This tool seeks to evenly-spaced moments across the whole video and captures each at the source resolution.
Frames are captured by drawing the video onto a canvas, so it works in every modern browser with no plugins and no ffmpeg. The number of frames is capped so a long clip can’t hang your tab, and everything is processed locally — nothing is uploaded.
Frame extraction shows up in more workflows than you might expect. Coaches step through a golf swing or sprint start moment by moment; animators pull reference poses from motion footage; researchers document how an experiment unfolded; and support teams turn a screen recording into step-by-step images for a help article. In each case a handful of evenly spaced stills communicates something a viewer would otherwise have to scrub a video to find.
To hit a particular spacing, do the quick division: frames are spread evenly, so a 60-second clip at 60 frames gives roughly one per second, while 12 frames from the same clip gives one every five seconds. Short action moments deserve the opposite treatment — request a high count on a few seconds of footage and you can pick the exact instant a ball leaves a bat or an expression changes.
Frequently asked questions
How many frames can I extract?
Up to 150 frames, spread evenly across the clip. Pick the number you need — fewer for a quick contact sheet, more for fine-grained stills.
JPG or PNG?
JPG gives smaller files and is great for photos; PNG is lossless and better when you need crisp edges or text. Both download together in one ZIP.
At what resolution are frames saved?
At the video’s native resolution, so a 1080p clip yields 1920×1080 stills.
Is my video uploaded?
No. Frames are extracted entirely in your browser, so your video never leaves your device.
Why are some extracted frames blurry?
That blur is in the video itself. Cameras expose each frame for a fraction of a second, and anything moving during that exposure smears — it is invisible at playback speed but obvious in a still. Extraction cannot sharpen it; the fix is to choose a moment where motion pauses, such as the top of a swing, or to extract more frames and pick the crispest one.
