Extract Frames From Video
Runs in your browser — your files are never uploaded.
Turn a video into a sequence of PNG stills — for a thumbnail, a contact sheet, a frame-by-frame look at something that happens too fast, or source images for an animation. Choose how many frames per second to sample and how many to stop at; the results come back as a ZIP with the frames numbered in order.
How to use Video to Frames
- 1
Drop your video onto the box, or click to choose one.
- 2
Set how many frames per second to extract — 1 gives you one still per second.
- 3
Set a maximum so a long video does not produce thousands of files.
- 4
Click “Convert” and save the ZIP.

Frequently asked questions
How many frames should I extract?+
One per second is right for scanning a video for a particular moment. For frame-by-frame analysis, set the rate to the video’s own frame rate — usually 24, 25 or 30 — and be aware that a minute produces well over a thousand images, which is why there is a cap.
Why a cap on the number of frames?+
Every frame is a full-size PNG held in memory before the ZIP is built. A few hundred is what a browser tab can manage; the limit stops a long video from crashing the page halfway through.
Why PNG and not JPG?+
PNG is lossless, so the frames are exactly what the video contained rather than a re-compressed approximation. If you are extracting frames to inspect or edit them, that matters. Convert the results to JPG afterwards if you need smaller files.
Can I get just one specific frame?+
Trim the video to the moment you want first, then extract at a low frame rate. That is far quicker than producing hundreds of stills and hunting through them.
