How to save pictures from a video
- Drop your video into the box above, or click to choose it.
- JPG is already selected; choose PNG for lossless pictures. Click Convert.
- Download the ZIP and open it to see the pictures. Each file name shows its time in the video.
How many pictures you get
A video up to a minute long gives one picture per second. A longer video gives 60 pictures spread evenly from start to end. To get every second of one part of a long video, cut that part first with Trim Video and convert the shorter clip.
Picture quality
Every picture has the full width and height of the video: a 1080p video gives 1920 x 1080 pictures and a 4K video 3840 x 2160. JPG files are small and good for sharing; PNG keeps every pixel and is better for editing and for frames with text.
Old Flash (SWF) videos
SWF files that contain video are converted like any other video. Interactive Flash games and animations drawn only with vector shapes have no video frames, so they cannot be turned into pictures. See our SWF converter for other options.

Trim the video to a second or two around the moment with Trim Video, then convert it: you get just one or two pictures.
