About Frame Grabber
The Frame Grabber pulls still images out of a video, either one frame at a time or automatically at set intervals. YouTubers use it for thumbnail images, analysts extract frames for review, and designers pull reference stills from footage. Upload a video, set the interval between frames, the maximum number of frames, and the output format, then capture a single frame manually or run the automatic extraction to build a gallery. Each captured frame can be downloaded individually or together as a ZIP. Everything runs locally in your browser on your own device — the video is never uploaded to a server, so sensitive footage stays private.
