How to use

Upload a video — Drop or choose 1 file (max 2GB). Common types: MP4, WebM, MOV, OGV (playback depends on the browser).
Find the frame — Drag the timeline or type a timecode (e.g. `00:01:23.456`). Use ← / → for approximate frame steps; Space to play or pause; M to mute or unmute.
Capture Frame — Click Capture Frame; images appear in the list below (up to about 500).
Download — Select frames and download them, or pack a ZIP. Very large sets may split into multiple ZIP files.

Tips

Click a thumbnail in the list to select or deselect it; the timecode helps you return to the same spot.
Long or ultra-HD videos use more memory—prefer a desktop browser.

FAQ

Q: What does this tool do?: A: It is an online video screenshot and video frame extractor: capture frames from a local video as PNG, then download single images or a ZIP. Everything runs in your browser.
Q: How do I capture one frame quickly?: A: Upload a video → seek with the timeline or timecode → click Capture Frame → download from the list. For more images, seek again and capture a few more times.
Q: Which formats are supported, and what do I get?: A: Input is usually MP4, WebM, MOV, or OGV (whatever your browser can play). Output is PNG at the same resolution as the video frame.
Q: Why won’t the video open or capture?: A: Common causes: the codec isn’t supported in your browser (especially some MOV files), a damaged file, a file over 2GB, or low memory. Try another browser or a smaller MP4.
Q: Are my video and screenshots uploaded? Is it private?: A: Nothing is uploaded to our servers or stored there. See the privacy note at the bottom of the page for details.
Q: What are the limits?: A: One video at a time, up to 2GB; about 500 frames in the list. Very long or high-resolution videos may run slower—a desktop browser works best.
Q: Are the arrow keys exact frame steps?: A: Timecode seek is usually more precise. ← / → move by an approximate frame interval and may drift depending on the codec. To hit a specific moment, prefer the timeline or timecode.
