Sometimes you need to preview a short sequence of frames from a video - to check motion, pick a moment, or compare a handful of consecutive frames - without opening video editing software. This tool captures that sequence directly in your browser and displays it as a strip of thumbnails you can inspect and individually save.
Upload a video file and this tool captures a sequence of individual frames from a chosen time range as JPEG thumbnails, shown in an on-page preview strip. It does not create an animated GIF file, and there is no dedicated download button - each frame is a real image element, so you can right-click any thumbnail and use your browser's "Save Image As" to save it individually.
Select an MP4, WebM, or MOV video file - image files aren't accepted.
Choose a start time, duration (1-10s), and frame rate (5-24 FPS).
The tool captures and displays each frame as a JPEG thumbnail.
There's no download button - right-click any thumbnail and choose "Save Image As" to keep it.
Click the upload area and select an MP4, WebM, or MOV file - this tool only accepts video, not images.
Choose a start time in seconds, a duration from 1 to 10 seconds, and a frame rate from 5 to 24 FPS.
Click Extract Frames - the tool seeks through your video and captures a JPEG thumbnail at each calculated interval.
Browse the thumbnail strip, then right-click any frame and choose "Save Image As" to save it - there's no dedicated download button.
Best For
Input
video.mp4, 3-second range at 10 FPSResult
30 individual JPEG thumbnails displayed in a scrollable strip - no .gif file is producedThe tool computes frameCount = duration × fps and captures that many still frames by seeking through the video - there's no GIF-encoding step anywhere, so nothing animated is ever created or downloaded.
Input
A 1920×1080 video, frames capturedResult
Each thumbnail is downscaled to 480px wide (270px tall, preserving aspect ratio)Captured frames are drawn to a canvas capped at 480px wide before being encoded as JPEG - the full native resolution of your source video isn't preserved in the thumbnails.
Input
photo.jpg selected in the upload dialogResult
"Please select a video file"The tool only accepts files whose type starts with "video/" - image files are rejected outright, regardless of what any step text may once have suggested.
Check exactly how a few seconds of motion breaks down into individual frames.
Compare several consecutive frames side by side to find the best one.
Right-click and save individual thumbnails you want to keep, rather than downloading everything at once.
Spot-check a video segment's frame-to-frame consistency without opening an editor.

Solution
Captured thumbnails are downscaled to a maximum of 480px wide, not your video's native resolution.
Since there's no download button, use your browser's native "Save Image As" on any frame you want to keep.
A long duration at a high frame rate produces many thumbnails to scroll through - start small and adjust.
This tool previews frames only - it has no GIF-encoding capability.
Frames here are capped at 480px wide - for a full-resolution still, use this site's Video Screenshot tool instead.
There's no GIF-encoding step anywhere in the tool - the output is a set of individual JPEG thumbnails, not an animation.
You can only save frames individually via your browser's right-click "Save Image As" menu - there's no batch download or export feature.
The upload only accepts video files - image files are rejected.
Thumbnails are downscaled for preview and are not full-resolution captures of your source video.
Both the duration slider and the frame-rate slider have fixed limits, capping the maximum captured frames at 240.
The whole video is loaded into the browser for seeking, so very large files may be slow or run into memory limits.
Both work with video frames, but only one produces an animated file.
