How to Extract a Still Frame from MP4 Video
MP4 is the most common video format, used by phones, cameras, screen recorders, and video editors worldwide. Our tool lets you extract any single frame from an MP4 file as a full-resolution PNG image using professional-grade Lanczos scaling. No software to download, no account to create — just upload, pick a timestamp, and download your still.
Full Resolution, No Compression
When you take a screenshot of a playing video, you're capturing a compressed, scaled version. Our tool reads the MP4 file directly, decodes the exact frame at your chosen timestamp, and outputs it as a lossless PNG. Whether your MP4 is 720p, 1080p, or 4K, the extracted frame matches the video's native resolution exactly.
Common Uses for MP4 Frame Extraction
Extract frames from MP4 videos for video thumbnails, product photography, documentation screenshots, social media posts, blog images, event photography, presentation slides, or legal evidence. The lossless PNG format ensures your extracted frame is suitable for any purpose, including printing.
