Video Frame Grabber

100% private — runs on your device, never uploaded. Works offline once loaded.

Take pictures out of a video. Grab a single frame for a thumbnail or a cover image — scrub to the moment you want and save it as a JPEG or PNG at full resolution, which is sharper than any screenshot of a playing video. Or pull out a whole sequence, anything from one frame every five seconds to five a second, and get them back as a ZIP. Useful for contact sheets, for picking the best moment out of a burst, and for feeding frames into something else. Nothing is uploaded.

Frequently asked questions

Is this better than taking a screenshot?

Yes. A screenshot captures the video as your screen is showing it — scaled down, and often with the player’s controls on top. This decodes the actual frame at its full stored resolution.

How many frames can I extract at once?

Four hundred, which is a deliberate ceiling — beyond that the browser tab runs out of memory holding them all before they are zipped.

Is my video uploaded?

No — the frames are decoded in your browser.
