How to save pictures from a video

  1. Choose a video, MP4, M4V, MOV, WebM or MKV, up to 25 MB and 30 minutes long. Two sliders and pictures of the first and last frames appear under it.
  2. Drag the sliders, or type the start and end, to pick the part to take pictures from. The whole video is chosen to start with.
  3. Choose a set number of pictures or one every so many seconds, and a size.
  4. Press Make JPGs, then download each picture, or all of them together as a ZIP.

Choosing the moments

  • A set number: spread evenly across the part you chose, the first at its start. Ten pictures from a one-minute video come 6 seconds apart, from 0:00 to 0:54.
  • One every…: from the start of the part, every half second up to every minute. One every 5 seconds from a one-minute video gives 12 pictures.
  • Up to 100 at a time: if your choice would make more, the page says so before it starts. Pick a longer gap, fewer pictures or a shorter part.

Size and quality

Full size keeps the video’s own picture size, up to 1920 pixels on the long side, so a 4K video’s pictures come out at 1920 × 1080. Choose 1280 or 640 pixels for smaller files to put on a web page or send in a message. Each picture is saved as a JPG at quality 90, and pictures from a phone video come out upright, as it plays. A picture is as sharp as the frame it comes from, so fast movement may look blurred.

Which browsers work

Saving pictures means reading the video’s frames, so it needs a current Chrome, Edge or Firefox, or Safari 16.4 or later. HEVC (H.265) video, which iPhones often record, needs a browser that can decode it, such as Safari; if yours can’t, the page says so when you choose the file.

Good to know

Your video stays on your device; nothing is uploaded. Each picture is named for its moment: holiday-clip.mp4 gives holiday-clip-0m00.0s.jpg, holiday-clip-1m05.5s.jpg and so on, and the results list each one with its size and moment. A picture is a single still: to keep the movement, make an animation with Video to GIF, and to turn your own photos into one, use GIF Maker.

Frequently asked questions

How many pictures can I save at once?
Up to 100 in one go: a set number spread evenly, or one every half second to every minute. For more, run it again on another part of the video.
Are the pictures full quality?
Each one is a frame of the video at its own size, up to 1920 pixels on the long side, saved as a JPG at quality 90. It’s as sharp as the video itself, so something moving fast may look blurred.
Why can’t it read my iPhone video?
Your browser can’t decode its HEVC (H.265) video. Safari can, and so can Chrome or Edge on computers whose hardware decodes it; Firefox can’t.
Are my files uploaded?
No. Your browser reads the video’s frames and saves them as JPGs, straight to your device.
