Video Frame Extractor

Turn a video into still images: grab a frame every few seconds for a storyboard or thumbnails, save several frames per second to find the sharpest moment, spread a number of frames evenly across a clip, or export every frame of a short animation. Frames are saved as JPG, PNG or WebP and can be downloaded one by one or together as a ZIP. Most MP4, WebM and MOV files are read by the browser's own video player in seconds; other formats (AVI, MKV, WMV …) go through the ffmpeg engine (about 30 MB, downloaded the first time). Nothing is uploaded.

How to use this tool

1. Choose which frames: every N seconds, N per second, N spread evenly, or every frame.
2. Set N, and optionally the part of the video to use.
3. Pick the image format, quality and width, then choose the video.
4. Look through the frames and download the ones you want, or all of them as a ZIP.

Formula

Number of frames = length of the part ÷ interval (or × frames per second), at most 300

Frame k is taken at start + k × interval, so the first frame is the start time itself. "Spread evenly" divides the part into N equal steps. File names carry the frame number and its time (hh-mm-ss.mmm). PNG keeps the decoded picture exactly; JPG at 90% is visually identical and much smaller. Phone videos are turned upright, as players show them.

Example

A 2-minute video with one frame every 5 seconds gives 120 ÷ 5 = 24 frames, at 0:00, 0:05 … 1:55. At 2 frames per second for the part from 0:30 to 0:40, you get 10 × 2 = 20 frames.
