What it does

Video Frame Extractor pulls still images out of video files. Give it links to videos and choose which frames you want:

Every N seconds, e.g. one frame every 5 seconds for a contact sheet or preview strip.
A set number of frames, spread evenly across the video, e.g. 10 thumbnails.
At exact timestamps, e.g. 1.5 s, 10 s and 62 s.
At each scene change, one frame per new shot, good for summaries and finding cover images.

Frames come back as JPG, PNG or WebP, optionally resized, each with its timestamp.

Common uses: video thumbnails, preview strips, training data for vision models, feeding frames to an AI model for video understanding, catalogue images from product videos, and checking footage without watching it.

How much it costs

You pay per frame saved. Scene-change mode also has a small charge per minute of video scanned, because it reads the whole video. See the Pricing tab for current prices. Videos that fail are not charged.

Set "Most frames per video" to cap how many frames a long video can produce.

Input

Field	What it means
Video file links	Direct links to MP4, MOV, WebM, MKV or AVI files. Page links from YouTube, TikTok or Instagram are not supported.
Which frames	Every N seconds, a set number, exact timestamps, or scene changes.
Seconds between frames	For "every N seconds".
Number of frames	For "a set number".
Timestamps	For "exact timestamps", in seconds.
Scene change sensitivity	For "scene changes". Lower finds more scenes; 0.3 suits most videos.
Image format	JPG, PNG or WebP.
Maximum width	Shrink frames wider than this. Empty keeps full size.
Most frames per video	Safety cap. Default 100.

Example:

{
    "videoUrls": ["https://example.com/product-demo.mp4"],
    "mode": "count",
    "frameCount": 12,
    "imageFormat": "webp",
    "maxWidth": 1280
}

Output

One row per frame:

{
    "videoUrl": "https://example.com/product-demo.mp4",
    "frameNumber": 3,
    "timestampSeconds": 22.5,
    "imageUrl": "https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/.../records/video-001-frame-00003.webp",
    "videoWidth": 1920,
    "videoHeight": 1080,
    "error": null
}

If a video could not be processed, its row has error set and no frames.

Use it as an API

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN")
run = client.actor("mvisiondigital/video-frame-extractor").call(run_input={
    "videoUrls": ["https://example.com/product-demo.mp4"],
    "mode": "scenes",
})
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item["timestampSeconds"], item["imageUrl"])
