Extract Frames from Video

Save video frames as individual JPG images in a ZIP archive.

Upload a video and choose how many frames per second to extract. Frames are returned as a ZIP of JPGs.

Frame extraction is useful for generating video thumbnails, creating dataset images for computer vision models, building storyboards or animatics, or analyzing specific moments in a recording frame by frame.

We use ffmpeg's fps filter to sample frames at exactly the rate you specify. Each frame is saved as a high-quality JPG with consistent filenames so they sort correctly in any file manager. The ZIP file maintains sequence order.

If your video is long and you request a high FPS rate, you may hit the 200-frame limit. Reduce the FPS (e.g. from 5 to 1) or use our Trim Video tool to extract just the section you're interested in before running frame extraction.

How to use Extract Frames from Video

  1. Step 1: Upload your video (MP4, WebM, MOV, or AVI).
  2. Step 2: Set the frames-per-second rate for extraction. 1 FPS captures one frame every second; 5 FPS captures five. Keep in mind there's a 200-frame limit per job.
  3. Step 3: Click "Convert now" and download a ZIP archive of JPG images, each named by its frame number.
