Step 1: Choose a video from your device
Drop a video onto the tool or choose one from your device. VixFrame creates a local playback URL in your browser and does not upload the video to a server. H.264 MP4 and WebM files generally offer the widest browser support.
Step 2: Find the exact frame
Drag the timeline, enter a timecode such as 00:01:23.500, or use the frame controls for fine adjustments.
- ←: move one frame backward
- →: move one frame forward
- Space: play or pause
- F: enter or leave fullscreen
- C: capture the current frame
Step 3: Capture the current and following frames
Keep “Frames after current” at 0 to save one image. Enter a larger number to capture the current frame plus that many following frames in one action, up to 120 following frames.
Step 4: Set a frame naming pattern
Combine these placeholders before capturing, and VixFrame will generate each filename automatically:
{video}: original video name{time}: capture timecode{index}: three-digit capture number{date}: current date
Step 5: Review and download your frames
Open the frame library to review every capture. You can rename a frame, return to its timestamp, inspect it at full size, download it, or delete it. Choose “Download all as ZIP” to save every original PNG at once.
How VixFrame preserves frame quality
VixFrame creates the capture canvas at the dimensions reported by the video instead of the displayed player size. Frames are exported as PNG, so no extra JPEG compression is introduced. Information already lost during video encoding cannot be restored.
