What you get

Get high-quality stills from your videos without relying on screenshots.

SnapMotion gives you still images taken directly from your videos, so you don’t have to rely on screenshots of a paused player. You can capture frames from 4K and 8K footage and save them as PNG, JPEG, or TIFF files. Your video needs to be playable by your version of QuickTime.

You can open videos from Finder, Photos, or links, then rotate or flip the footage before capturing. That means you get images in the orientation you need without re-encoding the source video first.

When you need more than a single frame, you can extract numerous images in a batch rather than capture each one separately. You can also turn your images into a GIF or MP4, giving you a way to use the captured frames as a moving sequence.

  • Keep detail from your footage

    You can extract high-quality frames from 4K and 8K videos instead of taking screenshots of playback.

  • Get the orientation right

  • You regularly extract batches of video frames
