How to Use

  1. 1

    Upload your video or GIF

    Drop an MP4, MOV, WebM, or GIF file into the upload area.

  2. 2

    Set the extraction FPS

    Choose how many frames per second to extract (0.5, 1, 2, 5, 10, 15, 24, or 30 fps). Lower FPS extracts fewer frames.

  3. 3

    Set maximum frames

  4. 4

    Select JPG (smaller files, good for photos) or PNG (lossless, best for graphics).

  5. 5

    Extract and download ZIP

    Click Extract. The frames are packaged into a ZIP archive and downloaded automatically.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I extract frames from a video online?

Upload your video to ezyimg's Video to Frames tool, set the FPS and max frames, choose JPG or PNG, and click Extract. All frames are saved in a ZIP archive that downloads automatically.

How do I take a screenshot from a specific video frame?

Set the FPS to a high value (e.g. 24 or 30) and use Video Cutter to first trim the video to the region containing the frame you want. Then extract frames at full FPS and find the exact frame in the ZIP.

What is the difference between JPG and PNG frame extraction?

JPG uses lossy compression — files are smaller but some detail is lost. PNG is lossless — files are larger but perfectly preserve every pixel. Use PNG for quality-sensitive work.

Can I extract frames from a GIF?

Yes. The tool accepts animated GIFs in addition to video files. Extracting GIF frames gives you PNG images of each animation frame.

Why is 1 FPS a good setting for most videos?

1 FPS extracts one frame per second — giving you a representative sample of the video content without generating thousands of files. For a 60-second video at 1 FPS, you get 60 frames.
