Private video frame extractor
Extract frames from video files without uploading them.
Turn any browser-playable video into clean JPG, PNG, or WebP images. Capture exact timestamps, build a contact sheet, download a ZIP, or continue into a video-to-Live-Photo workflow.

Built for repeated extraction work
More control than a basic video-to-image button.
Most frame extractors stop at one interval picker. FramesFromVideo adds exact timestamps, target count sampling, range limits, quality control, contact sheets, and ZIP export in one local workspace.

Live Photo add-on
Video to Live Photo and image to Live Photo in the same browser workspace.
Drop a video to choose a key frame and motion clip, or upload a still image and generate a short zoom or drift motion. FramesFromVideo exports a paired still image plus motion clip bundle without installing an app.

Extraction modes
Choose the sampling style that matches the job.
Use broad sampling for thumbnails, exact timestamps for documentation, or a fixed frame count for clean storyboards.
Extract every N seconds
Set the interval, start time, end time, and whether the final frame should always be included.

Extract a target count
Ask for 8, 12, 24, or up to 240 stills and FramesFromVideo distributes captures across the selected range.

Extracted frames are named with their timestamp, shown in a scrollable gallery, and packaged into one ZIP so the result is easy to hand off.

Workflow
From video to image pack or Live Photo bundle in three steps.
The first screen is the actual extractor, and the Live Photo add-on sits in the same local workflow when users need motion output.
Add a video
Drop, paste, or select a video. Metadata appears as soon as the browser can decode it.
Pick frames
Use interval, count, or timestamp mode, then choose output format, quality, and max width.
Download images
Download individual frames, one ZIP archive, or a contact sheet for quick review.
Local-first processing
Private frame extraction, limited only by the browser.
The selected file is opened as a local object URL. Canvas captures still frames, MediaRecorder builds motion clips, and downloads are generated from local blobs.
No server upload
Videos stay on the device instead of entering a remote media queue.
Browser codec honesty
If the browser cannot play the file, the extractor says so instead of pretending every codec is supported.
Frame limit guardrails
Selections are capped at 240 frames per run to keep memory, thumbnails, and ZIP exports stable.
Best fit
Useful for thumbnails, evidence captures, moodboards, and video QA.
FramesFromVideo is a focused video frame extractor for browser-playable source files, not a cloud transcoding suite.
Works well for
- Extracting thumbnail candidates from social clips
- Creating review contact sheets from edits or screen recordings
- Pulling exact reference images from timestamped videos
- Bundling a still image and motion clip for Live Photo workflows
Limitations
- It cannot decode codecs unsupported by the current browser
- Very large frame sets can consume memory quickly
- Encrypted streams and remote URLs are outside this local workflow
FAQ
What to know before extracting frames.
Do my videos or images upload to a server?
No. FramesFromVideo decodes selected media in your browser and creates local downloads from Canvas and MediaRecorder.
Which videos can I extract frames from?
Use MP4, MOV, M4V, or WebM files that your current browser can play. Browser codec support determines which files decode successfully.
Can I extract images from exact timestamps?
Yes. Use the Times mode and enter values like 12.5, 00:12.5, or 01:02:03.400. The tool sorts and de-duplicates valid timestamps.
Can I convert video to Live Photo online?
Yes. The Live Photo tool creates a paired bundle with a chosen still frame and a short motion clip from the video.
Can I convert an image to Live Photo?
Yes. Upload an image and FramesFromVideo generates a short motion clip with zoom or drift movement, then pairs it with the still image.
What do I download from the Live Photo tool?
You get a ZIP containing the still image, the motion clip, a manifest, and a short readme. Direct still and motion downloads are also shown.
Can I download every extracted frame as a ZIP?
Yes. Extracted frames can be downloaded individually or packed into one ZIP archive. You can also include a contact sheet.
