Extract a frame from a video
Open a video, scrub or step to the exact moment, and save that frame as an image at the video’s full resolution. Great for thumbnails, bug reports and feedback on a specific shot.
How to use the extract frames from video tool

Which videos work?
Anything your browser can play. MP4 (H.264) and WebM work everywhere; other formats such as MOV or MKV depend on the codec inside and your browser.
Frequently asked questions
Are my files uploaded anywhere?+
No. This tool runs entirely in your browser, so the file never leaves your device. Closing the tab discards it.
What resolution is the captured frame?+
The video’s own resolution. A 1080p video gives a 1920 × 1080 image.
How precise is stepping?+
The step buttons move by 1/30 of a second. Browsers seek to the nearest frame they can show, so on some videos a step can land a frame early or late.
Why won’t my video play?+
Your browser doesn’t support that video’s codec. Converting it to MP4 (H.264) with a desktop tool will fix it.
Is it free? Do I need an account?+
Yes, it’s free and there’s no signup, watermark or daily limit. An account is only needed if you want teammates or clients to comment on the file in edits.io.
Need feedback, not just a file?
Leave comments on a video that are tied to both a moment and a spot on the frame. Clients comment with a link, no account needed.
