  • Extract frames at custom timestamps (MM:SS or HH:MM:SS)
  • Batch extract multiple frames (3, 5, or 10 frames)
  • Choose between PNG (lossless) or JPEG (compressed)
  • Adjust JPEG quality for file size optimization
  • Preview all extracted frames
  • Download individual frames or all at once
  • 100% client-side processing (private & secure)

Extraction Methods

  • Custom Timestamp: Enter specific time (e.g., 1:30 or 0:01:30)
  • Batch Extract: Automatically extract 3, 5, or 10 evenly spaced frames

Use Cases

Tips

  • Batch extract to quickly create multiple thumbnails
  • Pause the video at the exact moment before extracting
  • Higher resolution videos produce higher quality frames
