Frame Extractor

This tool plays your file in the browser's own video player, so it works with any format your browser can decode: MP4 with H.264 almost everywhere, WebM with VP8, VP9 or AV1 in most modern browsers, and MOV files when their codec is supported. For each capture, it draws the current frame onto a canvas at the video's native resolution, so a 1920×1080 clip gives 1920×1080 images and a 4K clip gives 3840×2160 images, with no scaling.

There are two ways to capture. Interval extraction steps through the video from the start and grabs a frame every N seconds, down to every 0.1 seconds, with up to 300 frames per run. A progress indicator shows how far it has got, and a Stop button keeps whatever was captured so far. For a single, precise moment, use the player controls to pause or scrub to the frame you want and click Capture current frame. Captured frames appear in a grid labeled with their timestamps.

Choosing the format is about the destination. JPG files are much smaller, typically a few hundred kilobytes for a 1080p frame, and are ideal for thumbnails, previews and sharing. PNG is lossless, so it preserves fine text and sharp edges exactly, which suits screen recordings, UI screenshots and frames you plan to edit further; a 1080p PNG is often 2–5 MB. File names include the timestamp, so you always know where each image came from.
