Video to Image

Add the video, choose One picture, move the player to the moment you want (or type a time like 1:05.5) and press Save this picture. The picture appears with a Download button.

Pick the moment as above, choose JPG for a photo, PNG for sharp text or WebP for a small file, and save. The picture is a copy of that frame at the video's own size, unless you choose a smaller size.

Pause the player, then use Frame back and Frame forward to step one frame at a time, or type the time. The box shows the time to a hundredth of a second, and that is the picture you get.

Choose Every frame, pick the part of the video with the two handles, and save. The pictures come together as a ZIP. One job makes at most 300 pictures, so for a longer stretch take it in parts.

Choose One every few seconds, pick the gap (1, 2, 5, 10, 30 or 60 seconds, or any gap you set) and the part of the video. The page tells you how many pictures that makes before you start.

Choose A number of pictures and set how many, from 2 to 100. They are taken from the middle of equal slices of the video, so the first and last are not the black frames at the very ends.

A video is made of many pictures, so you choose which ones to keep: one, a set number or all of a part. Each comes out as a JPG, or as a PNG or WebP if you prefer.

A screenshot of the player includes the player's buttons and the size of your window. Saving the frame here gives you the clean picture at the video's real size, such as 1920 × 1080 for a 1080p video.

JPG gives small files that suit photos and normal video. PNG is lossless, which suits text, screen recordings and sharp edges, and makes the largest files. WebP makes small files with fewer visible flaws than JPG at the same size.

The video's own size by default, so a 4K video gives 4K pictures. You can ask for a width of at most 1920, 1280 or 640 pixels; a picture is never made larger than the video.

The picture is the decoded frame as your browser or the media engine shows it, saved without sharpening or enlarging. PNG keeps every pixel; JPG and WebP are saved at a high quality setting.

No. The pictures are taken in your browser on your own phone or computer, so the video never leaves your device.

MP4, MOV, MKV, WebM, AVI and WMV, up to 150 MB where the engine is needed. If your browser can play the video, it takes the pictures itself; if not, the page uses the media engine instead.

The page says so, shows the length it read with the engine, and lets you type the time you want, like 1:05.5. The pictures are then taken with the media engine, which handles types browsers cannot play, such as AVI and WMV.

Up to 300 in one go, because they are all held in your browser's memory until you save them. For more, take the video in parts using the two handles.

The frame rate is how many pictures make up one second of the video, often 24, 30 or 60. The page finds it the first time you step by a frame or choose Every frame, and uses it to count the pictures and step exactly.

For the first frame type 0. For the last, type the video's length: the page keeps the time inside the video, so you get its final frame.

Open this page in Safari or Chrome, add the video from your phone and save the frame you want; there is nothing to install.

VLC saves the paused frame with Video, then Take Snapshot (Shift+S on Windows, Command+Alt+S on a Mac), one frame at a time. Saving many frames in VLC needs its scene filter on the command line, whereas this page does it with a few clicks.

This page goes one way, from a video to pictures. To make a video from pictures you need a video editor or a slideshow maker.

Yes: save the frame you like here, or use the Video Thumbnail Maker, which also makes contact sheets of many frames.

A single picture takes a second or two, most of it opening the video. A set takes about as long as the browser needs to jump to each moment: a few seconds for ten pictures of a typical phone video, longer for a video with few keyframes, because each jump has to decode from the last one.

To show a moment, the decoder starts at the nearest keyframe before it and decodes forward. A video with a keyframe every second jumps almost instantly; one with a keyframe every eight seconds takes noticeably longer for each picture.

It is free, with no watermark, no account and no limit on how many pictures you save.
