Before you start
Step-by-step
Open the video
Select the video from your device or try the built-in sample. Check that the player can show the picture and seek through the clip before extracting images. MOV playback depends on its codecs and your browser.
Capture a single scene
Pause near the moment you want and adjust the playback position. In Single Frame mode, choose JPG or PNG and extract the image. Check the saved image because seeking may not land on exactly the same decoded frame in every browser.
Extract a batch when needed
In Auto Batch Extract, set the start, end, and interval. A larger interval produces fewer images and is useful for an initial storyboard. Try a short section before extracting a long clip.
Review and download
Review the extracted images, then save selected frames or download a ZIP. Check that the images cover the scenes you intended and that important text is legible.
Worked example
Create a quick storyboard from a twenty-second clip
Set a short time range, for example 0 to 20 seconds, with a two-second interval. Review the resulting images and keep the useful scenes. Endpoint handling and decoding can affect the exact image count; use the preview and results rather than assuming a fixed count.
Check the result
- The extracted images show the intended scene and are not blank.
- The resolution and format fit your intended use.
- Batch results cover the selected time range without unwanted duplicates.
Limits and tips
- Supported files depend on browser video decoding, not the filename extension alone.
- This is a still-image extraction tool. It does not download videos from websites or export a GIF or edited video.
- Long videos and dense extraction intervals use more device memory and processing time.
Questions
Can I paste a YouTube URL?
No. Open a supported video file from your device. Only use files you are authorized to process.
Can I export all images together?
Yes. The results gallery offers a ZIP download for multiple extracted frames.
Is extraction frame-perfect?
Browser seeking and decoding can affect the captured frame. Check results before relying on exact timing.
Is the video sent to a processing server?
Frame extraction runs in your browser. Page delivery, external fonts, and analytics can involve separate requests.
