One local MP4/MOV-family or WebM file, up to 256 MiB, 60 minutes and 8.3 megapixels per frame. The browser must support its codec.

    1 to 30 distinct comma-separated times before the end of the clip. The browser selects the decoded frame for each seek.

    How to use Video Frame Extractor

    1. Choose a supported local video and enter distinct comma-separated timestamps.
    2. Keep every time before the end of the clip and run the extraction.
    3. Open the PNG downloads and compare the labelled moments with the source playback.

    Example: Video Frame Extractor

    Extract three labelled moments from a short video.

    You add
    Source: a three-second, 640 × 360 supported local video. Timestamps: 0,1,2 seconds.
    You get
    Three PNG downloads contain decoded frames for the three requested seek times. Player decoding can choose a nearby available frame; these are not certified frame indices.

    Options

    Timestamps (seconds)
    Enter one to ten distinct times separated by commas, such as 0,1,2. Times must be nonnegative and earlier than the clip end.

    Supported inputs and limits

    One supported native-browser video up to 256 MiB and 60 minutes, at most 8.3 megapixels per frame and 30 timestamps. Codec availability and seek precision depend on the browser. No URL download, full-video conversion or frame-accurate editing guarantee.

    Where your input is processed

    This tool processes your input in this browser. Your text and files are not uploaded to UseFreeTools. Check this tool's limits for anything it may save on your device.

    Seeking is not a frame-number lookup

    The browser moves its media clock to each requested time and exposes a decoded frame. Codec keyframes, timestamp precision and browser behaviour influence that seek. The requested second labels tell you where a frame was sought, not an independently measured capture instant. Use the images for review rather than timing certification.

    A small compressed file can still contain large frames

    The limits apply to byte size, clip duration, frame area and requested frame count. High-resolution inputs may be refused even when the file size looks modest. This tool exports individual PNGs, not a storyboard layout, animated sequence or the original compressed video frame bytes.

    Questions about Video Frame Extractor

    Can I paste a video website URL?

    No. This tool processes one selected local file.

    Will every video codec work?

    No. The browser must support the file and its codec.

    Are timestamps frame-perfect?

    Seeking and timestamp precision depend on the native browser decoder.
