Video Extract Tools

Pull frames from a video

Choose Video Preview Generator for a still image. Pick a frame from a local video and save it as a single image, a poster at a custom size, or a thumbnail. You can also sample several frames into a contact sheet, storyboard, or compact thumbnail strip.

A contact sheet puts several sampled frames in one image. A storyboard lays out those moments for review, and a thumbnail strip keeps them in a compact row. These choices let you inspect several points in the video before deciding which frame to save.

Extract subtitles from a video

Pick Video Subtitle Extractor when the subtitles are embedded in the video. It inspects each stream for its language, codec, title, and disposition. Select the streams you need, then export them in their native format or as converted SRT or VTT files.

When a video contains several subtitle tracks, inspect their details before choosing one. The video is never modified, and the exported subtitle file is separate from it.

Choose the right video extraction page

• Choose Video Preview Generator for one frame, a poster, a thumbnail, or a group of sampled frames.
• Choose Video Subtitle Extractor to inspect embedded subtitle streams or save selected subtitles as native, SRT, or VTT files.
• Open Video Tools when the job is outside extraction, such as compressing, converting, trimming, merging, splitting, burning subtitles into, or analyzing a video.

Typical jobs

For one image, open Video Preview Generator, choose a frame, and save a single image, poster, or thumbnail. For a set of moments, choose a contact sheet, storyboard, or compact thumbnail strip instead.

For embedded subtitles, open Video Subtitle Extractor and inspect the language, codec, title, and disposition of each stream. Select a stream and export it in its native format or convert it to SRT or VTT. The original video remains unchanged.
