Video to JPG: extract frames

Turn moments of a video into pictures: save a frame every few seconds, a fixed number of evenly spaced frames, or exactly the frame you paused on, as JPG, PNG or WebP. Many frames download together as a ZIP.

Your files never leave your device. Everything runs in your browser.

How it works

  1. Open the videoDrop a video on the tool or choose it from your device.
  2. Choose the framesPick Every few seconds, Fixed number or Current frame, then the format and size.
  3. SavePress Extract frames, then save single pictures or Download as ZIP.

Three ways to pick frames

Every few seconds saves one picture at a regular interval, for example every 1 or 5 seconds, starting at the very beginning. Fixed number spreads the frames evenly over the whole video, which is handy when you want 12 pictures to choose a thumbnail or to document a process. Current frame saves exactly the moment you paused on in the player above; use the player's controls to find the right moment first.

The frames are read straight from the video file at full resolution, not taken as screenshots of the player, so a 4K video gives 3840×2160 pictures. Image size can make them smaller, up to 1920, 1280 or 640 pixels on the long side.

JPG, PNG or WebP

JPG gives small files that open everywhere and is the usual choice for photos and thumbnails. PNG is lossless and larger; choose it when you want to edit the frame further or when it contains sharp text, such as a screen recording. WebP is smaller than JPG at similar quality and works on websites and in modern apps.

Many frames come in a preview grid: click a picture to save only that frame, or press Download as ZIP for all of them. File names include the number and the time of each frame, so they stay in order.

Limits

One run saves up to 500 frames; for a long video choose a longer interval. Videos in codecs your browser cannot play, such as some HEVC files in Firefox, cannot be read. Everything happens on your device, nothing is uploaded.

Frequently asked questions

Is my video uploaded?

No. The frames are made in your browser and the video never leaves your device.

Are the pictures full resolution?

Yes. With Original size, each picture has the full resolution of the video, for example 1920×1080 for a Full HD video.

How do I save one specific frame?

Choose Current frame, pause the video where you want it and press Save this frame.

How many frames can I extract at once?

Up to 500 per run. Choose a longer interval or a fixed number for long videos.

Why is a frame blurry?

Fast motion is blurred in the video itself, because the camera's shutter was open while things moved. Try a frame a little earlier or later.
