What does Video Frame Extractor do?
Tubelexity captures still images from a local video at the timestamp you choose. Seek by time, step forward or backward, save several frames and export them as PNG, JPEG or WebP files. Captures use the video's intrinsic dimensions when the browser can decode them, rather than the smaller on-screen preview.

- Browser seeking can snap near keyframes.
- Source codec support varies by browser.
- Large captures and galleries consume memory.
How local processing works
Video decoding and image capture use native browser media and Canvas APIs. The video and captured frames are not uploaded to Tubelexity.
Frequently asked questions
Can I extract a frame from a video as PNG?
Yes. Seek to the frame, capture it and choose PNG for a lossless image export.
Are captures full resolution?
The tool uses the video's intrinsic decoded dimensions when available, not the CSS preview size.
Is next-frame stepping exact?
It can vary with source frame rate, keyframes and browser seeking, especially for variable-frame-rate video.
Can I download several frames together?
Yes. Select captured frames and export them as a ZIP archive.
