Extract Frames From a Video
Export frames as PNG or JPG stills, one per second or every frame.
Save frames from a video as JPG or PNG: one every few seconds, every single frame, or one still. Works with MP4, MOV, WEBM, AVI and more. Free, no upload.
What this tool is for
For getting pictures out of footage: a thumbnail, a still for a document, evidence from a dashcam, or every frame of a short clip to work through one at a time.
Three ways to extract
One frame every few seconds, for thumbnails and overviews. Every frame, for animation, analysis or finding the sharpest moment. Or a single frame at a chosen time, for a still or a cover image.
PNG or JPG
PNG keeps each frame exactly and suits editing and printing. JPG is a tenth of the size and suits sharing and documents. At 1080p, every frame of a minute of video as PNG can exceed a gigabyte, so set a limit or a lower rate for long clips.
Better than a screenshot
A screenshot captures your screen with the player on top. Extracting takes the frame from the file itself at its full resolution, exactly as recorded.
How to use it
- Add your files. Drop them on the page or choose them. They stay on your device.
- Set the output format and quality. The defaults suit most files.
- Press convert and save the results, individually or as one ZIP.
Questions
How many images will I get?
At one per second, roughly one for every second of footage. At every frame, twenty-five or more per second, so a one-minute clip produces well over a thousand files. There is a limit setting to stop that surprising you.
PNG or JPG?
PNG keeps every pixel exactly and produces large files. JPG is a fraction of the size and is right when you are extracting hundreds of frames rather than a handful.
Can I get one specific frame?
Yes. Choose the single-frame mode and set the start time to the moment you want.
Why are my frames blurry?
Because that is what the video holds. A frame from fast motion is genuinely blurred in the source, and no extraction can sharpen what was never captured.
