How to use Video to Frames

Why use Aback Video for this
Full resolution
Frames are saved at the video's real pixel size, not a blurry screenshot of the player.
Interval or count
One frame every half second for a flip-book, or exactly 12 evenly spaced frames for a contact sheet.
Fast native decoding
Your browser's hardware video decoder seeks to each frame, with FFmpeg as a fallback for formats it cannot play.
ZIP in the browser
All frames are packed into one ZIP on your device. Nothing is uploaded.
Frequently asked questions
Which image format should I choose?
JPG for photos and small files, PNG when you need lossless frames for editing, WebP for small files with good quality on the web.
Can I extract every single frame?
Set One frame every to the frame interval, for example 0.04 seconds for 25 fps. Keep the range short: one minute at 25 fps is 1,500 images.
Why are the frames slightly off the exact time?
Seeking lands on the nearest decodable frame. At normal frame rates that is within a few hundredths of a second.
Is my video uploaded?
No. Frames are decoded and encoded in your browser, and the ZIP is built locally.
What if my video does not play in the browser?
Some formats, such as certain MKV or AVI files, cannot be played natively. The tool then falls back to FFmpeg in WebAssembly, which is slower but reads far more formats.
Can I edit the frames afterwards?
Yes. Resize, compress or convert them in Aback Images, which also runs in your browser.
Does it work on phones?
Yes. Large frame counts at full resolution use memory quickly on phones, so choose a smaller size there.
