Frequently Asked Questions

How do I extract frames from a video online?

Drop or select your video on this page. In Manual mode, scrub through the video and click Capture Frame to grab specific screenshots. In Auto mode, set an interval and extract frames automatically. Download individual frames or all of them as a ZIP file. Everything runs in your browser - no upload needed.

What is the difference between Manual and Auto mode?

Manual mode lets you scrub through the video and capture specific frames one at a time - ideal for grabbing particular moments. Auto mode extracts frames at a regular interval (such as every 2 seconds) across the entire video - useful for generating thumbnails or creating a visual summary.

Can I extract frames as PNG instead of JPG?

Yes. Use the format toggle to switch between JPG and PNG. JPG files are smaller and fine for most uses. PNG is lossless and better if you need exact pixel accuracy or transparency support.

How do I navigate frame by frame?

In Manual mode, use the Prev and Next buttons to step through the video one frame at a time. You can also scrub the video player timeline or use the play/pause controls to find the exact frame you want.

Is there a limit on how many frames I can extract?

In Manual mode, there is no limit. In Auto mode, a warning is shown when more than 100 frames will be extracted, as processing may be slow on older devices. For very long videos, consider using a longer interval to keep the frame count manageable.

What video formats are supported?

VidShift supports all common video formats: MP4, MOV, MKV, WebM, OGV, M4V, and MPEG-TS. Any video that plays in your browser can have frames extracted from it.

What resolution are the extracted frames?

Frames are extracted at the full resolution of the video. If your video is 1920x1080, each frame will be a 1920x1080 image. The quality depends on the format you choose - JPG at 92% quality, or PNG for lossless output.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. Your files never leave your device. VidShift has no backend servers that receive or store your media. All processing runs locally in your browser, ensuring complete privacy. The tool even works offline after your first visit.
