Frequently Asked Questions

What resolution are the extracted frames?

Frames are captured at the video's native resolution. A 1080p video produces 1920x1080 pixel images.

Should I choose PNG or JPEG?

PNG is lossless and better for sharp graphics or text on screen. JPEG produces smaller files and is fine for photographic content.
