Frequently Asked Questions
You can enter timestamps to millisecond precision using decimals (e.g. 10.523 for 10 seconds and 523ms). The extracted frame will be the closest available frame to that time.
The output image matches the original video resolution. A 1080p video produces a 1920×1080 pixel image.
Currently one frame is extracted per operation. For extracting many frames, run multiple jobs with different timestamps.
JPG uses lossy compression — small file size with minor quality reduction. PNG is lossless — perfect quality but larger file. For thumbnails and photos, JPG is usually the better choice.
