A FEW THINGS WORTH KNOWING
Before you press play.
A little clarity, then back to creating.
What is FrameShot?
FrameShot turns video into still-image references. Choose a capture interval or exact timestamps, then download individual screenshots, a contact sheet, or a ZIP containing both. It’s made for visual studies, storyboards, comic reference, filmmaking, and music-video planning.
Can I choose an exact moment or part of a video?
Yes. Capture every few seconds or enter your own timestamps in seconds, mm:ss, or hh:mm:ss. Set a start and end time to study just one scene. The end time is excluded, and each extraction supports up to 240 frames.
Does my video get uploaded anywhere?
Your video and extracted images stay on your device. The browser processes them locally; FrameShot doesn’t upload them to a server. Download the images you want to keep before refreshing or closing the tab. Clear workspace releases the local session, and your original file stays untouched.
Which video formats and sizes work?
Choose one video up to 1 GB. Browser-compatible MP4 and WebM work best. MOV and other formats depend on the codec and your browser. Large files and high-resolution PNG exports need more device memory; a smaller clip or JPG can help on mobile.
What can I download?
Save individual JPG or PNG frames, one contact-sheet image, or a ZIP with frames, a contact sheet, and a timestamp manifest. Frame output supports up to 3840 × 2160, depending on your source; smaller footage is never upscaled. Contact sheets scale to fit within 4096 × 4096 pixels.
Is it free? Will I need a subscription?
The public preview is free, with no account or card required. When payments launch, we plan to include three free video projects per account, followed by optional one-time credit packs from $1.99. There will be no subscription or automatic top-up. You cannot buy credits yet.
Can I use the screenshots in my own work?
You keep the rights you already have in your footage. Extracting a frame doesn’t grant new rights to someone else’s video. Use footage you own or have permission to use, and respect its license. Our sample is from Sintel by the Blender Foundation under CC BY 3.0; its attribution is included in sample contact sheets and ZIP manifests.
