The Technical Details
The Frame Extractor connects the browser’s hardware-accelerated video renderer to standard canvas drawing models. When you load a video, the system registers its native height and width bounds.
When you click capture, a hidden canvas element matching the exact dimensions is initialized, and canvas.getContext('2d').drawImage(video, 0, 0) pulls the frame directly from the GPU video buffer in-memory with zero network overhead.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which video formats are supported?
MP4 (H.264), WebM (VP8/VP9), and OGG (Theora) are supported. Browser codec availability may vary — Chrome and Edge have the broadest support.
What resolution are the extracted frames?
Frames are captured at the video's native resolution. A 1080p video produces 1920×1080 PNG or JPEG frames.
Can I extract frames in bulk?
Yes. Capture as many frames as you need, then click Download All Frames to receive all captured frames bundled in a ZIP archive.
Is my video uploaded to a server?
No. Frame extraction uses the browser's native HTML5 video and Canvas APIs. Your video file never leaves your device.
