Having trouble?

If a video does not load, try choosing it from Files instead of Photos. For large 4K videos, close other apps or free up storage, then try again.

Debug — input variants

Try each picker on iPhone and watch which one loads. The log shows exactly where loading stops.

Choose this page when precision matters more than batch output. Open the clip, use Single frame mode, move the player to the exact moment, and capture the visible frame. Repeat only for a few hand-picked stills; use the sequence tools for interval or FPS jobs.

How it works

1
Open the video locally

Choose the clip from your device. It stays in the browser and begins loading without an upload.
2
Find the exact moment

Select Single frame mode and use the video player to scrub to the precise picture you want.
3
Set the still-image output

Choose JPG, PNG or WebP and, if needed, adjust image quality or set a smaller maximum width.
4
Capture the visible frame

Save the frame currently shown in the player. Repeat only for any other specific moments you want to keep.

Supported video formats

Most common containers work out of the box because decoding uses your browser’s built-in video engine.

MP4 H.264 — most compatible
MOV Apple / QuickTime
WebM VP8 / VP9
MKV Matroska
AVI Legacy container
M4V iTunes video

Private by design

Your video never leaves your device. All decoding and image extraction runs locally in your browser using standard web APIs — there is no server upload, no queue and no account. Close the tab and every frame is gone.

Output options

JPG

Small files, best for photographic frames and sharing.

PNG

Lossless, best for sharp graphics, text and screenshots.

WebP

Smaller than JPG at similar quality — ideal for the web.
