Yes. Extracting a frame is completely free, with no watermark and no sign-up.

Does my video get uploaded?

No. Everything runs in your browser, so your video never leaves your device.

What is the difference between PNG and JPEG?

PNG is lossless and pixel-perfect, which gives the best quality but a larger file. JPEG is smaller and lets you pick a quality level, which is handy for quick sharing.

What resolution is the image?

The frame is captured at your video's native resolution, so a 1080p video gives you a 1920×1080 image.

Which video formats work?

MP4, WebM, MOV, M4V and more work right away. Formats your browser can't decode, such as some HEVC or MKV files, use an advanced mode that is a little slower but still runs on your device.

Can I pick an exact frame?

Yes. Use the slider and the arrow buttons to step through frame by frame and land on the exact moment.

Is there a file size limit?

Up to 500 MB on desktop and 100 MB on mobile.

Does it work on my phone?

Yes. It works in any modern mobile browser, with no app to install.

Can I extract many frames at once?

For now it captures one frame at a time. Bulk frame export is on the way.

How to extract an image from a video

Add your video

Capture the frame at full resolution and save it right away.

Full-resolution frames, no quality loss

Sondra grabs the frame at your video's native resolution and saves it as a lossless PNG, so you keep every pixel from the source. There is no extra compression, and nothing gets scaled down.

Need a smaller file? Switch to JPEG and set the quality level. PNG stays pixel-for-pixel accurate for thumbnails, stills and design work, while JPEG is handy when you want a light image to share quickly.

Everything runs locally in your browser, so grabbing a frame is instant and completely private. Your video is never sent to a server.

What people use it for

A frame grabber comes in handy more often than you might think.

Thumbnails

Pull the best frame from a clip to use as a video thumbnail or cover image.

Social posts

Grab a still from a reel or story and share it as a photo.

Proof and reference

Save a key moment from a recording, screen capture or video call.

Design and editing

Export a clean, full-resolution still to drop into your design or editing tool.

Private by design

Sondra never uploads your video. The frame is decoded and captured inside your browser, so your footage stays on your device from start to finish.

There is no account, no watermark and no server round trip. Close the tab and nothing is left behind.
