    Save the first frame, the last frame, or both at once as PNG or JPEG — no watermarks.

About the First & Last Frame Extractor

The First & Last Frame Extractor is a free online tool that pulls the opening and closing still out of any video, right in your browser. Drop in a clip and it instantly captures the first frame and the last frame at the video's native resolution, ready to download as PNG or JPEG.

Reach for the first frame when you need a poster or thumbnail image, and the last frame (also called the final frame) for an end-card, freeze frame, or a quick quality check at the end of a clip. Because every frame is decoded locally, your video never leaves your device — there are no uploads, no servers, no sign-up, and no watermarks.

It works with the formats you already use — MP4, MOV, and WebM — and exports each frame at full resolution, far sharper than a screenshot of a paused player. This is a focused first frame extractor, last frame extractor, and final frame extractor; if you need any other frame, or want to split a whole clip into images, use the full video frame extractor instead.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get the first frame of a video?
Drop your video onto the tool and it automatically captures the very first frame. Click Download first frame to save it as a full-resolution PNG or JPEG. Everything happens in your browser — nothing is uploaded.
How do I get the last frame of a video?
Upload your clip and the tool seeks to the end and extracts the final decoded frame for you. Click Download last frame to save it. No scrubbing or editing software required.
Does it extract the first and last frame without losing quality?
Yes. Each frame is decoded and exported at the video's native resolution — much sharper than screenshotting a paused player, which captures the compressed image on screen rather than the raw frame.
Can I extract the first or last frame from an MP4?
Yes. The extractor works entirely in your browser and supports MP4, MOV, WebM and more. Upload your file and both the first and last frame appear, ready to download.
Do my videos get uploaded to a server?
No. All processing runs locally in your browser, so your video never leaves your device. It is fully private and secure.
What's the difference between the last frame and a freeze frame?
The last frame is the final decoded image in the video's sequence — what this tool extracts. A freeze frame is an editing effect that holds a single frame on screen for a chosen duration in software like Final Cut Pro or Premiere.
