Extract frames from video, free and in your browser.
Grab the exact moment you want and save it as a JPG or PNG — no sign-up, nothing uploaded.
Extract frames from video to get a screenshot, thumbnail, or still from any clip. Drop a video, set the time of the frame you want, choose JPG or PNG, and download the image. This video-to-image tool keeps your file on your device — it's decoded and the frame is pulled out right here in the page, with nothing uploaded.

How it works
Three steps from a video to a single frame.
02
Pick the time & format
Type the timestamp of the frame you want — it defaults to the middle of the video — and choose JPG (smaller) or PNG (lossless). This tool grabs one frame at the chosen time.
03
Preview & download
The frame is grabbed in your browser and shown right on the page. Check it, then download the image to your device.
JPG vs PNG
JPG or PNG — pick the right still.
JPG — a smaller file that's great for photos, thumbnails, and sharing on the web.
PNG — lossless with crisp edges, the better choice for screenshots with text or fine UI detail.
One frame at a time. This tool grabs a single frame at the time you choose. Extracting many frames across a range into lots of images (which would need a ZIP download) isn't offered yet — it's planned future work. For now, grab the frames you need one at a time.
Why use it
Private, fast, and free.
Nothing is uploaded — your video is processed entirely on your device, so it stays private.
Grab the exact instant you want by typing the timestamp before you save the frame.
No account, no watermark, no install — it runs in the browser you already have open.
Need more than a still?
Turn the video into notes and a transcript.
If you want the words, not just a frame, Video to Notes can transcribe a video and write a summary, key points, and a timeline you can download. For YouTube links and longer videos, the Chrome extension does it right in your browser. Want the sound instead? Extract the audio as MP3, M4A, or WAV →
- Full transcript plus an AI summary
- Key points and a clickable timeline
- Export to Markdown, PDF, or HTML
FAQ
Extract frames from video — FAQ
How do I extract frames from a video?
To extract a frame from a video, drop a video file onto the box at the top of this page or choose one. Set the time of the moment you want and pick a format (JPG or PNG), then select Grab frame. That single frame is pulled out of your video in your browser as a still image, previewed on the page, and offered as a download — a fast way to get a screenshot from a video with no app to install.
Is my video uploaded to a server?
No. The video stays on your device. It is decoded and the frame is grabbed entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded, and the image is returned straight to you as a download.
Can I extract many frames at once?
Not yet. This tool grabs one frame at the time you choose and saves it as a single JPG or PNG. Batch-extracting many frames across a range into lots of images needs a ZIP download we don't offer yet — it is planned future work. For now, grab the frames you need one at a time.
Should I save the frame as JPG or PNG?
JPG makes a smaller file and is great for photos and sharing. PNG is lossless with crisp edges, which is better for screenshots with text or fine UI detail. JPG is selected by default.
Which video formats are supported?
Common video files work — MP4, MOV, WebM, MKV, and more. The frame grab is near-instant even for a long video, because only the part up to the moment you pick needs to be read.
Is it free and do I need to sign up?
It is free and there is no sign-up. Because everything runs in your browser, there is no usage limit on grabbing frames.
