App Description

Extract all frames of your movie into high-resolution pictures!

Still, using snapshots or screen capture to obtain a single frame image of a movie? Tired of fast-forwarding, rewinding, and rewinding some more, but still cannot find the frame you want? Then movie2picture is just the one you need.
Drag and drop a video file to movie2picture, which will find the highest possible resolution images for you.
After you set up the resolution and a destination folder, your movie or video file will be extracted into pictures without losing a single frame.
