About Extract Video Frames

This tool saves frames from a video as individual JPG or PNG images at a rate you choose, then bundles them into a single ZIP download. It is useful for building image sets, picking stills or studying motion frame by frame.

When it helps

  • Creating a dataset of images from a video for machine learning or photogrammetry.
  • Grabbing one still per second from a long clip to find the best shot.
  • Breaking a short animation or sports move into frames for analysis.
  • Getting images out of a video to build a contact sheet or storyboard.

Tips

  • Frames per second controls how often an image is taken. At 1 fps a 5-minute video gives 300 images; use 0.1 for one frame every 10 seconds, or up to 30 for every frame of most videos.
  • Maximum frames caps the total (up to 2000) so a long video does not produce a huge ZIP. Raise it if your fps and duration would need more.
  • JPG files are much smaller; PNG is lossless and better if you will edit or analyse the images. Full-resolution PNGs from 4K video can make a very large ZIP.
  • Images are numbered in order (frame-00001, frame-00002 and so on), so they sort correctly in any file browser.

Good to know

Quick answers about extract video frames in your browser.

Set frames per second to the video's own frame rate, often 24, 30 or 25, and raise the maximum frame limit to cover the length. For long videos, trim the section you need first to keep the ZIP manageable.

Each frame is saved at the video's full original resolution.

Yes. There is no sign-up, no watermark and no limit on how many files you process.

No. Files are read and processed locally in your browser, so they never leave your device.
