Frames

Video Frame Grabber pulls still images out of any video, right in your browser. As soon as you choose a file it grabs the first and last frame for you, and you can type a list of times like 0:05, 0:30, 1:14 to capture any other moments as full-resolution PNGs. Save each frame on its own or download them all as a ZIP. The video never leaves your device.

Files are processed in your browser and never uploaded.

How to use Grab any frame from a video

  1. Add your file

    Drop your video file onto the upload area, or tap the area to choose it from your device.

  2. Run it

    Press Grab this frame, Don →. The button stays disabled until there is something to work on, and each file shows its own progress and result.

  3. Save the result

    Press Download all as ZIP. Each finished file keeps a name based on the one you started with, so you can tell the versions apart.

What this tool does

First and last frame grabbed automatically

The first and last frames are captured as soon as the video loads, which is usually what a thumbnail needs.

Enter comma-separated times to capture several frames at once

Enter a comma-separated list of times and every one of them is captured in the same pass, rather than scrubbing and screenshotting.

Full-resolution, lossless PNG screenshots

Frames come out as PNG at the video's own resolution, so nothing is scaled down or re-compressed.

Download frames one by one or all together as a ZIP

Download a single frame, or take all of them as a zip when you have grabbed a set.

Runs entirely in your browser, nothing uploaded

The video is decoded in your browser and never uploaded, which also means a 4K file does not have to be sent anywhere.

Frequently asked questions

Is my video uploaded anywhere?

No. The video is opened and read entirely in your browser, and every frame is captured on your own device. Nothing is ever sent to a server.

Which video formats work?

Any format your browser can play, including MP4, WebM, MOV, MKV and M4V. MP4 and WebM are the most reliable across browsers.

What quality are the frames?

Each frame is saved at the full resolution of the video as a lossless PNG, so it is as sharp as the original footage.

How do I enter the times?

Use seconds like 5, minutes and seconds like 1:14, or hours like 1:02:03, separated by commas. You can grab as many frames as you like in one go.

Can I download them all together?

Yes. Each frame has its own download button, and the Download all as ZIP button bundles every grabbed frame into a single file.
