🖼️ Video to Frames
Extracts stills from a local video with ffmpeg.wasm in JPG or PNG, either one frame every N seconds or a fixed total count spread across the clip. The frames are written as frame_0001, frame_0002 and so on, so a long clip at a short interval produces a large set of images. The roughly 25 MB runtime caches after the first use and no video is uploaded.

Choose an extraction mode that fits the clip
| Your situation | What the frame filter outputs | Better move |
|---|---|---|
| Storyboard for a 60 s ad | One frame every N seconds gives evenly spaced stills | Start with N=5; a dozen frames are usually enough to review |
| Exactly 12 thumbnails for a gallery | Total-count mode spreads 12 frames across the duration | Use this mode instead of guessing an interval |
| Printing a single sharp still | PNG keeps detail but each file is much larger | Pick PNG only for the frame you actually need |
| Two-hour screen recording | One frame every second would create thousands of images | Increase the interval, or crop the segment first |
| Contact sheet for an Etsy listing | JPG at a modest interval keeps the whole set small | Use JPG; the default format is already the sensible one |
| Need the exact frame at 00:01:23 | Neither mode targets a timestamp directly | Crop around that moment, then extract a single still |

Detailed User Guide
Extract still frames from a video
The tool samples frames from your video at a chosen interval, total count, or FPS, and outputs them as JPG or PNG images.
Every-N-seconds vs total frames
Extracting every N seconds spreads frames evenly across the clip, while a fixed total gives you a specific number regardless of length.
PNG vs JPG for different needs
PNG is lossless and better for editing or analysis, while JPG is smaller and fine for quick previews and contact sheets.
Processed locally with FFmpeg
Frame extraction runs in your browser via WebAssembly FFmpeg, so your footage never leaves your device.
Ideal for thumbnails and storyboards
Pull frames to choose a video thumbnail, build a storyboard, or inspect specific moments without scrubbing manually.
Frames make good contact sheets
Extract frames at a steady interval and lay them out into a single image to get a visual overview of a whole video — a fast way to review long footage at a glance.
Name and order of extracted frames
Frames are numbered sequentially so you can reassemble or reference them in order, which is useful when importing a sequence into an editor or animation tool.
