How to Extract a Frame from a Video

  1. 1

    Upload your video

    Start by uploading the video file you want to extract a frame from. Common formats like MP4 are supported.

  2. 2

    Describe the frame

    In the prompt box, tell our AI which moment you want to capture. For example, 'get the frame where the person is blowing out the birthday candles'.

  3. 3

    Extract your frame

    Our AI will analyze your video based on your description and locate the exact frame, instantly creating a still image for you.

  4. 4

    Download your image

    Your high-resolution image is ready to download as a PNG file, perfect for sharing, printing, or using in your projects.

Stop trying to pause at the exact right millisecond. Our AI video frame extractor helps you pinpoint the perfect moment with a simple text description. Instead of manually searching, just tell the AI what to look for, like "the instant the fireworks explode" or "the frame with the biggest smile." This conversational approach makes it easy to find and save those fleeting moments from your videos, turning cherished memories into high-quality still images you can keep forever.

The result is a crisp, high-resolution PNG image that looks sharp whether you're posting it online, using it in a presentation, or even printing it. Your captured memories deserve better than a pixelated screen grab. Get still photos that are as vibrant and clear as the video they came from, ensuring your special moments are always seen in the best light.
