How to Use the Video Frame Extractor

Upload a Video File (MP4, MOV, or WebM)
Choose a video from your device and load it in the tool. Everything happens in your browser, so your file stays on your machine while you work.
Scrub to the Exact Moment You Need
Use the timeline scrubber or play controls to find the frame you want—great for selecting clean thumbnail moments, design references, or specific scenes for review.
Capture One or Multiple Frames
When you see the right moment, click “Capture this frame”. Keep capturing to build a small gallery of options you can preview and refine.
Export as PNG/JPG (Single or ZIP)
Download a single frame, or export multiple frames at once as a ZIP. Use PNG for best quality (recommended) or JPG for smaller file sizes.

Video Frame Extraction Explained
A video frame extractor helps you turn a specific moment in a video into a still image you can download. Use it for thumbnails, keyframes, storyboards, or sharing a precise moment with teammates and clients.
Common Use Cases
- Thumbnails & posters: Find a crisp, readable moment.
- Storyboards: Capture key beats for a scene breakdown.
- Creative review: Share a specific frame for feedback.
- QA & bug reports: Document a glitch at an exact timecode.
PNG vs JPG
PNG is best when you want maximum quality and sharp text edges (recommended for thumbnails and UI captures).
JPG creates smaller files, which is helpful when you’re exporting lots of frames or sharing quickly.
Tips for Picking the Best Frame
- Pause on a frame with minimal motion blur (especially on fast cuts).
- Look for clear faces, readable text, and strong contrast.
- Capture a few nearby moments and export as a ZIP to compare options quickly.
Privacy & Security
The extractor runs locally in your browser. Your video isn’t uploaded to a server as part of the frame capture workflow.
