Video to Frames

Video to Frames turns moments from a video into ordinary images. Scrub to the exact moment you want and grab it at full resolution, or let the tool collect frames for you: one every few seconds, a set number spread evenly, every single frame of a short part, or a list of exact times you type in.

Screenshots of a playing video are blurry, cropped to your screen and full of player controls. These frames are decoded straight from the video at its real size, or a smaller width if you prefer, and saved as lossless PNG, compact JPG or WebP. They appear in a grid as they are made, each with its exact time, so you can keep the good ones, remove the rest and download them one by one or all together as a ZIP.

There is also a contact sheet: every frame you have saved, laid out as thumbnails in one image with their times and a header naming the file, its length, size and format. It is ideal for reviewing footage, choosing a thumbnail, or sharing an overview. Everything happens in your browser, so your video stays on your device.

1. Tap “Choose a video” or drop one onto the box.
2. To grab one moment, tap the filmstrip or play the video, nudge with “‹ Frame” and “Frame ›”, and press “Grab this frame”.
3. For a set of frames, choose “Every few seconds”, “A number of frames”, “Every frame” or “Exact times”, and drag the handles to the part you want.
4. Pick PNG, JPG or WebP and a size, then press “Save frames”.
5. Save single frames, press “Download all (ZIP)”, or press “Make contact sheet” and download it.

• Grab any single moment at full resolution, with one-frame steps back and forward.
• Four ways to pick frames: every few seconds, a number spread evenly, every frame, or exact typed times.
• Frames come from the part you choose on the filmstrip timeline.
• PNG for perfect quality, or JPG and WebP with a quality setting (WebP where the browser can write it).
• Full size, or scaled to 1920, 1280, 960, 640 or 320 pixels wide.
• Frames appear as they are made, each with its exact time and file size.
• Download frames one at a time or all at once as a ZIP, with the time in every file name.
• Contact sheet with 2 to 10 columns, four thumbnail sizes, times, a file-details header and a dark or light background.

• The middle of each share is used for evenly spread frames, so you never get a black first frame from a fade-in.
• For a YouTube-style thumbnail, scrub to the moment, step a frame or two for the sharpest one, and grab it as PNG.
• Every frame adds up quickly: one second is 24 to 60 frames. Choose a short part first.
• JPG at 92 looks the same as PNG for most footage and is a fraction of the size.
• Exact times accept seconds (75), minutes and seconds (1:15) and fractions (1:15.5), separated by commas.
