Finally a video frame extractor that works for portrait videos! The 9:16 grid is a game changer. I extract frames from Instagram Reels daily and the ZIP download saves me so much time.

Tested with a 4K video — extracted all frames at full 3840×2160 resolution. The time range selector is exactly what I needed. And the fact nothing is uploaded is a big win for privacy.

As an animator I need every single frame from reference videos. The "every frame" option is brilliant. Privacy matters a lot to me — knowing nothing is ever uploaded is huge.

Used this to analyze cinematography — extracted frames at 0.5fps to study shot composition. The full-screen lightbox preview is great for detailed inspection. Highly recommend.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything about extracting frames from video.
What is a video frame extractor? ▼
A video frame extractor is a tool that captures individual still images from a video file. Every video is a sequence of frames (typically 24–60 per second). Our free frame extractor lets you save any of those frames as PNG, JPG, or WebP image files.
Does my video get uploaded to any server? ▼
No — never. FrameGrab runs entirely inside your web browser. Your video is read locally by your own device and never transmitted to any external server. This makes it 100% private and safe for confidential footage.
What video formats does the frame extractor support? ▼
Any format your browser supports — typically MP4 (H.264/H.265), WebM, MOV, and Ogg. MP4 works in all modern browsers. MKV and AVI support depends on your browser and OS codec availability. For best compatibility, use MP4.
Why does the frame grid match my video's aspect ratio? ▼
We automatically detect your video's dimensions and apply the correct aspect ratio to every frame card. A 9:16 portrait video (TikTok, Reels, Shorts) displays portrait thumbnails. A 16:9 landscape video shows landscape thumbnails. This ensures accurate previewing without distortion.
How do I extract frames from only part of a video? ▼
Use the Start Time and End Time fields in the settings panel. Enter time in seconds — for example 30 for the 0:30 mark and 90 for the 1:30 mark. The video to frames extraction will only process that segment.
What is the best image format for extracted frames? ▼
PNG gives lossless quality with no compression — best for design, analysis, or professional use. JPG creates smaller files with minor quality loss, good for web photos. WebP offers excellent compression while retaining high quality, ideal for web projects.
How do I download all extracted frames at once? ▼
After extraction completes, click the green "Download All (ZIP)" button. All frames are packed into a single .zip file and downloaded to your computer. You can also click the "Save" link on any individual frame card to download just that frame.
Is there a file size or frame count limit? ▼
There is no upload size limit because the video never leaves your device. The Max Frames slider lets you control up to 1000 frames per extraction to prevent browser memory issues. Use the time range and FPS settings to fine-tune the output for very long videos.
Does this video extractor work on mobile? ▼
Yes! FrameGrab is fully responsive and works on iOS Safari and Android Chrome. You can select a video from your phone's camera roll, extract frames, and download them directly to your device.
