About FrameRipper

FrameRipper is a free, browser-based tool that extracts evenly spaced frames from any video file. It works entirely on your device - no uploads, no servers, no sign-ups.

Under the hood, it uses your browser's built-in HTML5 video decoder to seek to timestamps and the Canvas API to capture each frame as a JPEG, PNG, or WebP image. The result is a ZIP file containing all your extracted frames, ready to use.

Why it exists

Most online frame extractors upload your video to a remote server. That is slow, raises privacy concerns, and often comes with file size limits. FrameRipper was built to solve all three problems at once: by processing locally, extraction is fast, private by design, and has no artificial limits.

Who uses it

Content creators extracting YouTube thumbnails. Students screenshotting lecture recordings. Developers building image datasets from video. Editors pulling reference frames. Anyone who needs still images from a video file without installing software or creating an account.

Supported formats

MP4, MOV, MKV, WebM, AVI, FLV, MTS, and M2TS - any video format your browser can decode. MP4 with H.264 has the broadest support across all browsers. Output formats include JPEG (92% quality), PNG (lossless), and WebP.

Privacy

Your video never leaves your device. You can verify this by opening your browser's Network tab in developer tools - zero data is transmitted during extraction. Read the full privacy policy.
