📷 Video Frame Grabber — Instant PNG Capture, No Upload
Grab any frame from a video as a PNG image instantly — just load your video, seek to the exact moment you want, and click Capture. Everything runs in your browser using the HTML5 canvas; your video is never uploaded anywhere.
Private by design. This tool runs entirely in your browser — nothing you enter is uploaded or stored, and it works offline.
About
Video Frame Grabber uses the browser's built-in HTML5 video element and canvas API to extract frames at their native resolution. When you load a video file, it stays entirely on your device — nothing is sent to a server. Seek to any timestamp using the timeline scrubber or by entering a time directly, then click Capture to render that frame onto a canvas and export it as a lossless PNG. The captured image matches the video's original pixel dimensions, so you get the same quality as a native video screenshot. Because the tool relies only on standard web APIs, it works in any modern browser — including on mobile — and functions completely offline once the page is loaded.
How to use
- Click 'Load Video' and select a video file from your device — it stays local, never uploaded.
- Use the timeline scrubber or arrow keys to seek to the exact frame you want to capture.
- Click 'Capture Frame' — the current frame is drawn onto the canvas at full video resolution.
- Click 'Download PNG' to save the captured frame as a lossless PNG image to your device.
FAQ
- Is this tool free to use?
- Yes, completely free — no account, no subscription, no hidden fees. Open the page and start grabbing frames immediately.
- Is my video uploaded to a server?
- No. Your video never leaves your device. All processing uses the browser's HTML5 canvas API entirely client-side — no data is ever sent to any server.
- What image quality and resolution will the captured PNG be?
- The PNG is exported at the video's native resolution — if your video is 1920x1080, the PNG will be 1920x1080. PNG is lossless, so there is no compression artefact; you get a pixel-perfect snapshot of that frame.
- What video formats are supported?
- Any format your browser can play natively — typically MP4 (H.264/H.265), WebM (VP8/VP9/AV1), and OGG. MP4 has the widest compatibility across all browsers and devices.
- Does it work on mobile devices?
- Yes. The tool uses only standard HTML5 and canvas APIs that are supported on modern mobile browsers including iOS Safari and Android Chrome. Simply pick a video from your camera roll or file storage and capture frames the same way.
