Video Frame Grabber

Save full-resolution stills and contact sheets.

Take a Perfect Still From Any Video

Screenshots of a playing video catch the player’s controls, the wrong moment and a scaled-down picture. Open the video here, drag to the moment, step forwards and back a frame at a time, and save that exact frame at the video’s full resolution — a 4K clip gives a 3840 × 2160 still, ready for a thumbnail, a print or a presentation.

You can also export a frame every half second to every thirty seconds as a ZIP of images, useful for training data, storyboards or picking the best shot, or make a contact sheet: a grid of evenly spaced frames with timestamps that summarises a whole video on one page.

Key features

  • Full-resolution stills as PNG, JPG or WebP.
  • Frame stepping forwards and backwards.
  • Interval export — every 0.5 s to 30 s, up to 600 frames in a ZIP.
  • Contact sheets of 9, 16 or 25 frames with timestamps.
  • Timestamped file names, so frames sort in order.

Frequently asked questions

What resolution are the frames?

The video’s own resolution — the pixels the video actually contains, without the player’s scaling.

Is PNG or JPG better?

PNG keeps the frame exactly but is larger; JPG is a fraction of the size and fine for thumbnails and sharing.

Why do frame steps sometimes land on the same picture?

Steps assume 30 frames per second. A 24 or 25 fps video occasionally repeats a frame when stepping; use the slider for fine positioning.

Does it upload the video?

No. The browser decodes the video and the frames are drawn and saved on your device.
