Why use Aback Video for this

  • Full resolution

    A 4K video gives a 3840 x 2160 image, not a screenshot the size of your window.

  • Frame stepping

    Step forward and back one frame at a time to catch the exact moment.

  • Instant

    Uses your browser's video decoder, so there is nothing to load or process.

  • Local

    The frame is drawn in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.

Frequently asked questions

Why is this better than a screenshot?

A screenshot captures the player at the size of your screen, often scaled and with controls on top. This saves the decoded frame at the video's own resolution.

Which format should I use?

PNG for the best quality and editing, JPG for small files and sharing, WebP for websites.

Can I save many frames at once?

Use Video to Frames to extract frames at an interval or a set number, downloaded as a ZIP.

My video does not play here. What can I do?

Some formats cannot be played natively by browsers. Convert it to MP4 with Convert Video first.

Is my video uploaded?

No. The frame is captured on your device.

Does it work on phones?

Yes. Frame stepping works with the on-screen buttons.
