Extract All Frames from MP4

Extract every frame from an MP4 video and download them as PNG or JPEG images in a ZIP. Runs 100% in your browser using the HTML Video element and Canvas API — no upload required.

MP4 (MPEG-4 Part 14) is the most widely supported video container on the web. Files encoded with the H.264 codec play natively in every modern browser — Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge — without any plugins. This makes MP4 the ideal format for in-browser frame extraction, because the browser's built-in decoder handles decompression and seeking without server-side processing.

Our extractor uses the browser's native <video> element to seek to each target timestamp, draws the decoded frame onto an HTML Canvas, and exports it as PNG or JPEG. All processing stays on your device. A 4K MP4 file at 3840×2160 resolution is extracted at full native resolution — competitors with server-side pipelines often cap uploads at 500 MB and downscale to 1080p. There is no such limit here.

Typical use cases for MP4 frame extraction: building image datasets from screen recordings, extracting product-shot frames from e-commerce videos, reviewing surveillance or dashcam footage frame-by-frame, and generating storyboard thumbnails from a recorded presentation.

How to extract frames from an MP4

  1. Go to the Video Frame Extractor tool and click Choose video file. Select your .mp4 file.
  2. Set the extraction mode to Every N seconds for time-based sampling, or Total N frames for evenly-spaced output. Optionally specify a start and end time to extract from a subsection.
  3. Choose JPEG for smaller file sizes (quality 85% recommended) or PNG for lossless frames. Click Extract Frames, then download the ZIP when complete.

MP4 vs WebM frame extraction

MP4 is universally supported across all major browsers, making it the most reliable choice for in-browser extraction. WebM offers better compression for web delivery but may not be decodable in Safari on iOS. For best compatibility, convert WebM sources to MP4 before extraction, or use the WebM frame extractor if you know your browser supports VP9/AV1.
