A video multi-frame grabber is a tool that extracts multiple still frames from a video file and arranges them into a single filmstrip image. This is useful for creating video summaries, storyboards, thumbnail previews, and analyzing video content frame by frame. Our tool processes everything locally in your browser — no upload to any server is required.

Simply upload your video file by dragging and dropping it onto the upload area or clicking to browse. Then choose your extraction mode: By Interval (grab a frame every N seconds), By Count (extract N evenly-spaced frames), or Manual Grab (play the video and click to capture specific moments). Click "Extract Frames" and the tool will process your video instantly.

The tool supports all video formats that your browser can play natively. This typically includes MP4 (H.264), WebM, MOV, and AVI files. For the best compatibility across all devices, we recommend using MP4 files with H.264 video encoding. The maximum file size is 500MB for optimal performance.

Yes! When generating your filmstrip, enable the Timecode toggle in the strip settings. Each frame in the exported image will display its corresponding timestamp (in MM:SS or HH:MM:SS format) directly beneath the thumbnail. You can also customize the thumbnail width, frames per row, spacing between frames, and background color.

Absolutely! This video frame grabber is 100% free to use with no limitations. All processing happens entirely in your browser using HTML5 Canvas and JavaScript. Your video files are never uploaded to any server — complete privacy is guaranteed. You can extract as many frames as you need without any watermarks or restrictions.

You can extract up to 100 frames in a single batch. For the best filmstrip results, we recommend 10–30 frames depending on your video length. You can click individual frames in the preview grid to select or deselect them before generating the final filmstrip, giving you full control over which frames appear in the exported image.

Frame thumbnails are rendered at the width you specify in the settings (default 180px), maintaining the original video's aspect ratio. The filmstrip is exported as a PNG image at full resolution. For high-quality results, set a larger thumbnail width (up to 500px). The output resolution depends on your chosen thumbnail width, frames per row, and total frame count.

Yes! Switch to Manual Grab mode. Play the video and click the "Grab Frame" button (or press the S key) at any moment to capture that exact frame. You can also use the timeline slider to scrub to a specific timestamp and grab it. All grabbed frames are collected in the preview grid, where you can reorder them by time or delete individual ones before exporting.
