# Video Frame Extractor

> Pull stills from a video at any timestamp. Single frame, every N seconds, or N evenly-spaced frames. PNG, JPEG, or WebP output.

## What it does

Three extraction modes cover the common needs: a single frame at a specific timestamp, a sample every N seconds (good for thumbnails of long videos), or N evenly-spaced frames (good for an overview grid).

Single frames download as a single image. Batches come back as a ZIP. PNG is lossless; JPEG is smaller; WebP balances the two.

## How to use it

1. **Drop the video** — Any common video format. The tool reads duration to bound the timestamp input.
2. **Pick a mode and format** — Single + PNG for a one-off thumbnail. Evenly-spaced + JPEG for a content overview. Interval + WebP for a long-form summary.
3. **Extract and download** — Single frames download instantly. Batches compress into a ZIP.

## When to use it

### Thumbnails for video catalogs

Pull a representative still from each video to use as a preview image in a CMS.

### Storyboarding from existing footage

20 evenly-spaced frames from a 3-minute scene gives you a visual outline at a glance.

### Documentation screenshots

Need an exact moment in a tutorial recording? Type the timestamp, get the frame, drop it into the docs.

## FAQ

### Is the extracted frame exactly at the timestamp?

It's the closest decodable frame to your timestamp. For sub-frame accuracy you'd need a re-encode; this tool prioritises speed and quality preservation.

### Can I get every single frame?

Yes — pick interval mode with a very small interval (0.01s) and the framerate cap. For a 30-fps source set interval to 1/30. The ZIP could be large.
