The tool selects the middle of the chosen range.
Fixed-count extraction
Extract an exact number of frames across a video
Request the number of stills you need and distribute them evenly across the full video or a selected time range. This is ideal for overviews, storyboards, and review sheets.

Fixed frame count
Balanced coverage without calculating an interval
Count mode is the simplest way to build a representative visual summary. Instead of calculating how many seconds should separate frames, enter the desired number and let the tool distribute timestamps across the selected range.
A small count such as 8 or 12 works for quick review. Larger values can reveal more transitions, while the contact sheet keeps the sequence easy to scan.
Step-by-step
How to extract a set number of frames
Count mode includes both ends of the selected range when more than one image is requested.
- 01
Open the video
Load a local source and wait for its duration to appear.
- 02
Choose Count mode
Enter the target number of frames.
- 03
Adjust the range
Focus the distribution on a particular chapter or scene when needed.
- 04
Export the set
Download images, the contact sheet, or one organized ZIP.
Compatibility
How even distribution works
Requested timestamps are spread by time across the selected range.
Multiple frames
The first and last timestamps anchor an even sequence.
Variable frame rate
Equal time spacing may not equal the same number of encoded frames.
Scene density
Fast sections may need a narrower range or more frames.
Best results
Choose a useful frame count
Start with 12
This is a practical overview for many short and medium clips.
Use 24 for storyboards
More frames reveal pacing and transitions with greater detail.
Narrow the range before increasing count
Focused sampling is more informative than a huge general set.
Enable the contact sheet
It presents the fixed-count sequence in one labeled image.
Support and limits
Count mode limits
Even time sampling does not perform automatic scene or shot detection.
Supported workflow
- Target counts from 1 to 240 frames
- Custom timeline ranges
- Timestamped individual, sheet, and ZIP output
Current limits
- No AI best-frame selection
- No shot-boundary detection
- Equal time spacing can miss very short scenes
FAQ
Questions about fixed frame count
Can I extract exactly 10 frames?
Yes. Enter 10 in Count mode.
Are the frames evenly spaced?
They are evenly distributed by timeline time.
Can I sample only part of the video?
Yes. Set a custom start and end.
What happens if I request one frame?
The tool captures the midpoint of the selected range.
Can I make a contact sheet from the set?
Yes. Keep Contact sheet enabled.
