A PROJECT BY MOSIN BALSING

FrameForge
MP4 to frames converter.

Extract JPEG, PNG or WebP image sequences from video, with range controls and ZIP export.

Open FrameForge

The problem

A scroll-driven animation needs an ordered image sequence rather than a video that plays on its own. Designers and developers also need individual stills for a storyboard, inspection or presentation. FrameForge puts frame extraction and export controls in a browser interface.

Design and engineering choices

Choose a local video

FrameForge accepts a selected or dropped video file. Its public interface supports MP4, WebM and MOV, subject to the browser’s decoding support. Video decoding and image extraction run on the device using the HTML5 video element and a 2D Canvas context.

Control the part you extract

The interface includes an output frame-rate control and in/out points for a timeline range. Those choices help a developer extract the sequence needed for an interaction instead of treating every source video as an identical export task.

Choose an image format for the next step

The available frame formats are JPEG, PNG and WebP. The right choice depends on the intended use and the resulting image quality and file size. A frame sequence intended for a website still needs testing at the actual display size and on the devices where it will be used.

Export an ordered sequence

Individual frames can be downloaded, or the extracted sequence can be packaged in a ZIP archive. A portfolio can then map scroll progress to a frame index and draw the selected image on a canvas. This connects a video-production step with an interactive frontend workflow.

How to use FrameForge

  1. Open FrameForge and select a video from your device, or try the sample video.
  2. Choose the section of the timeline and the output frame rate you need.
  3. Select JPEG, PNG or WebP for the extracted images.
  4. Review the result and download individual frames or the complete ZIP sequence.

Scope and practical limits

  • Supported codecs and extraction performance depend on the browser, source video and available device resources.
  • A large or long image sequence can consume substantial memory. Choose the range and frame rate for the intended use.
  • The deployed application is linked here. Its source repository is private, so this page does not advertise public source access.
