Extract Frames from Video Online
This tool lets you extract frames from a video directly in your browser — no upload, no account, no software to install. Choose a video file, and you can save the current frame as a JPG, or extract frames from mp4, MOV, and WEBM files automatically by interval or count. Everything runs locally on your device, so the video itself never leaves your computer or phone.
Whether you need a single clean still or a full set of frames from a longer clip, the same tool handles both — you just switch modes depending on what you're trying to get out of the video.
Video Frame Extractor for MP4, MOV, and WEBM
As a video frame extractor, this tool works with the formats your browser can decode natively. MP4 is the most reliable choice and works as an mp4 frame extractor out of the box — most phone and camera exports use this format. MOV files from iPhones and Mac exports are usually supported too, and WEBM files from screen recordings work in most modern browsers. Older formats like AVI have inconsistent browser support, so converting to MP4 first is the safest option if extraction doesn't work directly.
There's no size trick or format requirement beyond what your browser can already play — if the video plays in your browser's video preview, the tool can pull frames from it.
Frame Viewer: Browse Video Frame by Frame
Before you save anything, use the built-in frame viewer to scrub through the video and find the exact moment you want. Play, pause, and drag the timeline to move through the clip — the preview updates as you go, so you can see exactly what the extracted frame will look like before saving it.
This matters more than it sounds. The first frame you land on after pausing is rarely the sharpest one. Moving one or two frames forward or backward, especially around fast motion, usually gets you a noticeably cleaner still.
Frame Downloader: Save and Download Video Frames as JPG
Once you've found the moment you want, use current frame mode to save it. The frame downloads instantly as a JPG image — no player controls, no browser UI, just the frame itself. You can repeat this as many times as you need to save multiple frames from different moments, one at a time.
If you're looking for a specific frame to use as a thumbnail, a documentation image, or a reference photo, this is the fastest path: find it in the frame viewer, then download it directly.
Split Video into Frames by Interval or Count
For longer videos, checking every moment manually isn't practical. Switch to interval or count mode to split the video into frames automatically:
- Interval mode extracts one frame every few seconds, giving you an evenly spaced sample across the whole video.
- Count mode extracts a fixed number of frames spread across the timeline, useful when you want a consistent number of images regardless of video length.
This is the fastest way to turn a video into frames when you need a visual overview of a long recording, or when you're not sure yet which section has the frame you actually want. Extract a batch first, then go back to the frame viewer to fine-tune the exact still.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this video frame extractor free to use?
Yes. There's no signup, no watermark, and no limit on how many frames you extract. The tool runs in your browser, so there's no software to install either.
What video formats can I extract frames from?
MP4, MOV, and WEBM are all well supported. AVI has more limited browser support — converting to MP4 first usually works better if a file doesn't load.
Is my video uploaded to a server?
No. The video is processed entirely on your device using your browser's built-in decoding. It's never transmitted anywhere, which matters for private recordings, client footage, or unreleased content.
What's the difference between saving one frame and splitting a video into frames?
Current frame mode saves exactly one still image at the moment you choose — best when you know what you're looking for. Interval and count mode extract many frames automatically across the video, which is faster for scanning a long clip or building a visual overview.
What image format are the extracted frames saved in?
Frames are saved as JPG images, using the same resolution as the source video. A 1080p video produces 1080p frames; a lower-resolution video will produce correspondingly lower-resolution frames.
