Video Frame Extractor & Contact Sheet Maker
Extract exact, evenly spaced, interval or ranged video frames locally, then build a selected-frame ZIP, contact sheet and timestamp manifest.
What Is the Video Frame Extractor & Contact Sheet Maker?
The Video Frame Extractor & Contact Sheet Maker is a local frame-grab desk for producers, editors, reviewers and designers. It can request one exact timestamp, an even spread, a fixed interval or a counted range; records both requested and decoded timestamps; preserves a reorderable selection; and exports individual PNG, JPEG or WebP stills, a ZIP, contact-sheet PNG or PDF, and a JSON manifest.
How It Works
Drop a browser-decodable video into the source desk, choose the extraction mode and output dimensions, then review the planned frame count and local memory limits before starting. Select and reorder the frames you want, inspect seek differences, and export the chosen files or contact sheet with its timestamp manifest.
When to Use It
Use it for editorial review, storyboards, thumbnail exploration, continuity notes, pitch decks, archive catalogs and producer handoffs. Browser video decoding is not a frame-accurate replacement for a professional edit system: long-GOP codecs can seek to nearby decoded frames, so the ledger shows the actual decoded time and tolerance result.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Are Videos Uploaded?
- No. Decoding, frame capture, image encoding and exports run in the current browser session.
- Why Can The Actual Timestamp Differ From The Requested Time?
- Browser seeking depends on codec keyframes and decoder behavior. The tool records both values and flags captures outside the chosen tolerance instead of claiming false frame accuracy.
