Extracted Frames
Extract individual frames from any video file and save them as PNG or JPEG images — all in your browser. The frame extractor lets you select specific timestamps or extract every Nth frame using FFmpeg-WASM without uploading your video anywhere.
Video Frame Extractor — Export PNG & JPEG Images from Video
Every video is a sequence of still images rendered at high speed, and sometimes you need to access those individual frames directly. This browser-based video frame extractor lets you pull out specific frames as high-quality PNG or JPEG images using FFmpeg-WASM, right from your browser without any server uploads.
Extracting frames from a video is essential for a wide range of workflows. Thumbnail creators need the perfect still from a video for YouTube covers, Open Graph images, or preview posters. Motion analysts and sports coaches extract sequential frames to study movement in detail. Machine learning engineers generate training datasets from video recordings by extracting frames at regular intervals. Video editors use frame extraction to identify exact edit points and create reference stills.
The tool supports both targeted extraction — specifying an exact timestamp in seconds or HH:MM:SS format — and batch extraction, where every Nth frame from a range is exported. PNG output preserves all detail without compression artifacts, making it suitable for analysis and professional use. JPEG output produces smaller files that are easier to share and embed. All frame extraction processing is handled by FFmpeg-WASM locally in your browser.
Generating Video Thumbnails
Extract the most visually compelling frame from any video to use as a YouTube thumbnail, social media preview, or Open Graph image for video embeds.
Motion Analysis and Sports Coaching
Extract sequential frames from high-speed video recordings to analyze athletic technique, study biomechanics, or review motion frame by frame.
Machine Learning Dataset Creation
Batch-extract frames at regular intervals from video footage to build image datasets for computer vision training without manual screenshot workflows.
- 1
Upload Your Video
Load your MP4, WebM, MOV, or MKV video file. The file stays in your browser — FFmpeg-WASM processes it entirely locally without any network transfer.
- 2
Choose Extraction Mode
Select single-frame extraction (enter one timestamp), range extraction (start and end with an interval), or extract all keyframes. Choose PNG for lossless quality or JPEG for smaller file sizes.

Extract and Download Frames
Click Extract Frames to start processing. Individual frames download as image files, or a batch extraction downloads as a ZIP archive containing all exported frame images.
Precise Timestamp Selection
Extract a frame at any specific timestamp using HH:MM:SS.ms format for frame-accurate image capture from any point in the video.
PNG and JPEG Output Formats
Choose PNG for lossless, full-quality frame images suitable for analysis, or JPEG for compressed images that are easier to share and store.
Batch Frame Extraction
Extract every Nth frame across a specified time range and download all resulting images in a ZIP archive for bulk processing workflows.
No Upload — Private Processing
FFmpeg-WASM handles all video decoding and frame export in your browser. Your video and extracted frames are never sent to a server.
