One video, the right still images
From one exact frame to a complete video image sequence
Choose the capture method around the job: a precise video screenshot, evenly sampled frames, or a consistent batch ready for another creative or technical workflow.
Precise frame capture
Capture the exact video frame, not the player around it
Pause on the moment you need, scrub to its timestamp, then nudge backward or forward in 1/30-second steps. The exported image contains the decoded video frame itself, without playback controls, captions, or browser chrome.
- Capture one frame at an exact timestamp
- Keep the decoded source dimensions or set a smaller width
- Save the still as PNG, JPG, or WebP
Flexible image sequences
Turn a video into a usable, organized image sequence
Convert the whole clip or a defined time range into still images. Sample by interval, requested FPS, or total frame count, preview the results in chronological order, and package selected images into one ZIP download.
- Choose a repeatable interval, FPS, or frame count
- Limit extraction to the scene that matters
- Download timestamped frames individually or together
Private local processing
Process private and large videos in your own browser
Your selected video is decoded on your device with browser media APIs and a local canvas. There is no video upload to wait for and no server copy of the footage. Practical limits still depend on the codec, resolution, available memory, and number of frames requested.
- No account, server upload, or watermark
- Works offline after the page has loaded
- Supports MP4, WebM, and many browser-playable MOV files
Ready for real workflows
Create still images for thumbnails, tutorials, and datasets
Use a single high-impact frame for a video thumbnail, preserve crisp interface details for a tutorial, or export consistent samples for machine-learning review. Choose the format and dimensions around the next step instead of capturing low-resolution screen grabs.
- JPG for compact thumbnails and sharing
- PNG for text, interfaces, and lossless editing
- WebP for efficient website and app images

|---|---|---|---|
| PNG | Lossless output | Largest | Text, UI, graphics, and archival frames |
| JPG | Adjustable lossy output | Usually small | Photos, thumbnails, and sharing |
