Video to PNGs, in three steps

  1. Choose a video

    Add an MP4, MOV, or WebM file. Morf reads the resolution, duration, and frame rate so you can see the frame count.

  2. Set up the frames

    Use the whole video, or set a time range and a lower output FPS. You can also request only the first and last frame.

  3. Optimize or save

    Send the PNGs to the image converter, or save them losslessly to a folder or a ZIP.

What do people use video frame extraction for?

Scroll-driven video animation for a website

Extract every frame of a video, then animate it frame by frame as visitors scroll down the page — the scroll video animation technique used on many product landing pages, built with GSAP, Motion (Framer Motion), or plain JavaScript.

Picking a thumbnail or cover image

Step through a video frame by frame and save the best moment as a cover image for YouTube, a blog post, or social media.

Making a meme or reaction image

Grab an exact moment from a movie, show, or your own footage and turn it into an image.

A frame sequence for a bug report or guide

Break a screen recording into step-by-step PNG frames for a bug report or a how-to guide.

Frame-by-frame video analysis

Study every frame of a sports move, an animation, or a product demo one at a time, for research or teaching.

Privacy while extracting video frames

Video processing runs in your browser, and Morf does not send the source file to a server.

  • Frames are temporarily stored in the browser's local storage, kept separate for Morf.

Video frame extraction, explained

Answers about lossless PNGs, FPS, long videos, storage, and browser codec support.

Are the resulting images really lossless?

Morf saves the decoded video frame as a full-resolution PNG, so it does not add further lossy compression. It cannot, however, restore detail already lost by the source video's earlier compression.

How large or long a video can I process?

Morf does not set a video length, file size, or frame limit. The real limit comes from your browser's codec support, your device's performance, and available local storage. Processing happens continuously in small stages, without loading the entire video into memory at once.

What does output FPS mean?

The All available frames setting keeps every original frame. At a lower FPS, Morf thins frames out based on timestamp, but never creates a new frame that wasn't in the source video. A separate setting lets you save only the first and last frame of the selected range.

Can I change the FPS after processing?

Yes. You can thin out the finished set further before optimizing or downloading. Frames skipped during processing cannot be restored afterward, so a later FPS can't be higher than the value you originally set.

What happens if local storage runs out?

Morf safely pauses after a checkpoint and keeps the PNGs created so far. You can save or optimize them, free up space, or restart with a lower FPS.

What videos does the tool support?

It accepts MP4, MOV, and WebM containers. Actual decodability depends on the video's codec and your browser; if a codec isn't supported, Morf flags this before processing starts.

Is video frame extraction free, ad-free, and unlimited?

Yes. No account, ads, or daily video or frame quota. How much of a video you can process depends on your browser's support, your device's performance, and available local storage.
