Video frame extractor
Extract the frame on screen, the first or last frame, or one frame every few seconds from a video, as PNG or JPG at full resolution. It is free, needs no sign-up, and the video never leaves your browser.
How to extract frames from a video
- Open the video: choose a file or drop it on the tool. It plays from your device.
- Pick PNG for exact pixels or JPG for smaller files.
- Pause on the frame you want and select This frame, or take the first frame, the last frame, or one every few seconds.
- Select a frame to download it, or download every frame as one ZIP.
Which frame to take
The first frame is the opening shot, the usual choice for a thumbnail or a poster image.
The last frame is the closing shot. Video models that accept a starting image can open a new clip on it, so the cut from one clip to the next stays continuous.
One frame every few seconds gives you a contact sheet of the whole video, for storyboards, reviews, or picking the strongest still. Each run takes up to 120 frames, starting from where the video is paused.
Full resolution, on your device
Your browser plays the video from the file on your device and draws each frame at the video’s own size: a 1080p video gives 1920 × 1080 images, a 4K video 3840 × 2160. The ZIP is built in the same tab, so the video and its frames never leave it.
Common questions
Is my video uploaded?
No. The video plays from your own device, and your browser draws and saves every frame. Nothing is sent to Oneirosea or anyone else.
Is the video frame extractor free?
Yes. There is no sign-up, no watermark and no limit on how many videos you open. Each run takes up to 120 frames, starting from where the video is paused.
How do I get the last frame of a video?
Open the video and select Last frame. The tool seeks to the end and saves the final frame your browser shows, at full resolution.
Can I extract every frame of a video?
For a short clip, set the interval to one frame’s length, about 0.033 seconds at 30 frames a second. Each run takes up to 120 frames, starting from where the video is paused. For every frame of a long video, the free command-line tool FFmpeg does it in one command: ffmpeg -i video.mp4 frame-%04d.png.
Can I save a frame from a video on iPhone?
Yes, in Safari on iPhone and iPad. Open this page, choose the video from your photo library, and take the frame. It saves to the Downloads folder in the Files app.
Which video formats work?
Any video your browser can play. MP4 (H.264) and WebM play in every modern browser. A MOV from an iPhone plays in Safari, and in other browsers when the device can decode HEVC.
