Bring videos over easily

Flixier allows you to easily import videos from several different sources: drag and drop a clip from your computer, import it directly from a cloud storage solution, or copy and paste a URL to import links straight from the internet.

Why use Flixier to extract frames from video?

Annotate or censor a frame before extracting it

Draw attention to important details with Flixier’s annotation features! You can circle things, underline them, use arrows, or even draw freely on top of your video. Then, you’re free to extract that frame from your video and save it to your computer, along with all the annotations you made to it. 

Extract audio from videos

You can use Flixier to extract more than frames from your videos. Our audio extractor feature allows you to save the audio from your videos to your computer as an MP3. You can even use Flixier to enhance your audio automatically before extracting it, or to trim the file down and eliminate unwanted parts. 

Create freeze-frame effects

While extracting frames from videos is certainly useful, freezing them can also come in handy! Freeze-frame videos can be great when trying to create something a little dramatic or give viewers more time to understand something in a busy video tutorial. 

Enhance and separate a video into frames

Make your video sharper, brighter, and livelier before extracting your frame from it! Enhancing your video is simple with Flixier. All you have to do is tweak the Sharpness, Brightness, Vibrance, and Saturation sliders until you’re happy with your result. Then, you can choose the Export Frame option to extract a frame or save the enhanced video to your computer.

My main criteria for an editor was that the interface is familiar and most importantly that the renders were in the cloud and super fast. Flixier more than delivered in both. I've now been using it daily to edit Facebook videos for my 1M follower page.
