# Grab video frames free, no upload
Cutshed Frames and thumbnails is a free browser tool that runs on this device. Pull JPEG stills from a video at even intervals or at one timestamp.
Pull a handful of frames for a storyboard, or one frame for a thumbnail start. The video element draws them. ffmpeg is not involved.
## How to use it
- The clip has to be a format the browser can play, usually MP4 or WebM. Choose how many frames to spread across the duration, up to 12, or type one timestamp and grab that moment.
- Each still is a JPEG about 640 pixels wide. Click a still to download it. They live in memory until you pick another file or leave the page.
- A frame from a compressed video can be soft or blocky. That is the source frame. This page does not enhance it. Run the upscaler on a still if you need a larger picture and can accept the look of that model.
## Tips
- Grab four frames first. Twelve JPEGs of a three-minute clip are mostly the same shot.
- For a thumbnail, pause on a face with open eyes. Blink frames look closed.
- If the browser refuses the file, remux or re-encode to H.264 MP4 in the compressor, then come back.
## FAQ
- Are the stills full resolution?
They are scaled to 640 pixels wide so a long grab does not fill memory. They are references and thumbnail starts, not a VFX plate.
- Does this download ffmpeg?
No. The video element and a canvas do the work.
- Can I get a PNG with transparency?
No. Video frames are opaque JPEGs. Transparency is the background remover’s job, on a still.
## License
This page uses the browser canvas and the File API. No model is downloaded, and the picture is not sent anywhere.
## Related tools
- Video Video editor Cut, title, and export a timeline in the browser.
- Video Video compressor Squeeze a clip toward a size limit.
- Video Video trimmer Keep the part of a clip you actually need.
Files stay on this device.
Free tools never upload the file you open. Studio is the only paid part of the site, and the only place a prompt is sent to a video model.
