Generate video thumbnails

Need stills from a video? This tool pulls evenly spaced frames from your clip without uploading it anywhere. Drop an MP4, WebM, or MOV, choose how many thumbnails you want, and the tool generates evenly-spaced screenshots you can download as a ZIP of images or as a single contact sheet.
It's a lighter alternative to desktop tools like VLC or MoviePrint when you just want a fast preview grid without installing anything. Because everything runs in your browser using the built-in HTML5 video engine, your footage never touches a server — ideal for confidential recordings, client material, drone or dashcam clips, and unreleased edits.
Common uses include building chapter previews for long tutorials, picking a cover frame for YouTube, generating storyboards from raw footage, creating episode overview sheets, and pulling stills from gameplay or webinar recordings. Pro members can generate up to 200 thumbnails per run from videos of any size their browser can play; free users can process videos up to 100 MB and up to 12 thumbnails at a time, 3 times a day.

The browser seeks to each timestamp, draws the frame to a canvas, and hands you the images — all locally, no server round-trip.
