How to Extract Frames From Video
Save Any Moment as an Image
Find the Exact Frame
Move the playhead to the right part of your video, then use the arrow keys to go through frames individually. This gives you more control when choosing a clear facial expression, a product detail, a presentation slide, or an important step from a recorded demonstration.
Skip the Playback Controls
Exporting the current frame gives you an image without the play button, timeline, or other controls that can appear in a screenshot. Use the finished PNG in a thumbnail, presentation, document, social post, or any other project that needs a still from your video.
Add Helpful Context
Add a label with Flixier's online text editor, draw over the video, or place an arrow around something people should notice. When the frame contains the information you need, export it as a PNG with those additions included.
Hold a Moment On Screen
Not every frame needs to become a separate image. Create a freeze-frame effect to hold an instruction, reaction, result, or product detail on screen for longer while keeping it inside the original video.

What does it mean to extract a frame from a video?
Extracting a frame means choosing one image from a video and saving it as a separate file. In Flixier, the exported frame is downloaded as a PNG without the editor interface or playback controls. You can then use it independently in a thumbnail, document, presentation, or social post.
How can I find an exact frame in a video?
Move the playhead close to the moment you want, then use your keyboard's arrow keys to check the nearby frames one at a time. When the correct image appears on the canvas, right-click the video and select Export Current Frame. Flixier saves that frame to your device as a PNG.
Can I extract several frames from the same video?
Yes, after exporting the first frame, return to the timeline and move the playhead to another moment. Select Export Current Frame again and repeat the process for every still you need. You don't have to import the original video again or create a separate project for each image.
What format does Flixier use for extracted frames?
Flixier saves exported video frames as PNG images. The downloaded file contains the selected moment without the editor's timeline, play button, or other interface elements.
Which video formats can I extract frames from?
Flixier works with common video formats, including MP4, MOV, MKV, WMV, and WebM. Import your file, add it to the timeline, and select the moment you want to save.
