Can I get every single frame?

Only in short bursts. Ten a second is the fastest interval here and 200 frames the most per run, which is twenty seconds of footage. A full 30 fps extraction of a long video is a job for desktop software.

What order do the files come out in?

Numbered from the start of the range, with leading zeros so they sort correctly. The caption on each one shows the timecode it came from.

Does this upload my video?

No. The frames are decoded and drawn inside your browser, and the ZIP is built there too. Nothing is sent anywhere.

Video to Images

Pulls frames out of a video at a set interval and numbers them in order. One a second across a two-minute clip gives 120 images, ready to download as a ZIP.

How to use Video to Images

1Choose a video, or drag it onto the box.
2Scrub to where the sequence should start.
3Choose how often to take a frame, and what size.
4Extract, then download the ZIP.

Choosing an interval

One frame every two or five seconds is what you want for a contact sheet or for picking a thumbnail out of a long recording. One a second suits reviewing a screen recording.

Several a second is for frame-level work, and it adds up quickly: five a second across a minute is 300 images, which is past what this will do in one run.

Numbering and order

Files come out numbered with leading zeros, so clip-001.jpg sorts before clip-010.jpg in every file manager and every import dialogue. Software that assembles an image sequence relies on that order, and names without the padding break it at ten.

Size and format

Full size gives the video's own resolution, which is right when the frames are going into something else. Reducing the width is worth doing when there are a lot of them: 200 frames at 1280 wide is a large ZIP.

JPEG at quality 90 is the sensible default. PNG is lossless and several times the size, which matters at 200 files and not at five.

Limits

Two hundred frames per run. Start later in the video for the rest.
Frames are collected one seek at a time, so a long run takes a while.
Every frame is held in the tab until the ZIP is built, so a very large run needs memory.
MP4, MOV and WebM open. AVI, MKV and HEVC files usually will not.
