Terms of Service

FrameCatcher (“FrameCatcher,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) operates the FrameCatcher website and shot-detection tool (the “Service”). FrameCatcher is a digital service operated in Thailand (electronic commercial registration is currently in progress). For any legal, operational, or service-related inquiries, you can reach us at support@framecatcher.app. By using the Service, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy.

FrameCatcher is not directed at children, and you should be at least 18, or the age of majority where you live, to use it.

FrameCatcher offers two ways to get frames out of a video:

• Shot Detection finds real shot boundaries, where the picture actually changes, rather than fixed time intervals, and pulls frames from each shot.
• Interval Capture grabs a frame on a fixed interval you choose.

Both run entirely in your browser, on your own machine. The video you pick is read by the page you have open and is never sent to us. Neither are the frames, or anything you export from them. There is no upload, no queue and no copy of your footage on our side, because there is no mechanism by which one could reach us.

This means your browser has to be able to decode the file. Current versions of Chrome, Edge, Safari and Firefox can; some older browsers and some unusual video formats cannot, and when that happens we tell you so rather than offering to do it for you. Everything else works the same for everyone: every mode and every export, with no account and no limit on how much you use it.

Your footage is yours, and so is every frame you get out of it. We claim nothing, and we could not: the Service never receives your video, so there is no copy for us to hold rights over, use, or show to anyone.

You are responsible for having the right to process whatever you put through the Service — your own footage, footage you are authorised to use, or footage you are working with on someone else’s behalf. That includes having proper grounds or consent for any identifiable people appearing in it.

Because processing happens on your own machine, these are limits on your use of the Service rather than things we are in a position to inspect. You may not use FrameCatcher to process:

• Content you don’t own or have permission to use, including footage under a licence that doesn’t cover this kind of processing.
• Content that is illegal to possess or distribute where you are.
• Content involving the sexual exploitation of minors, which is never permitted under any circumstance.
• Content that infringes someone else’s privacy or personal-data rights, or that you know was obtained without their consent.

You also may not attempt to abuse, overload or reverse-engineer the Service, or interfere with anyone else’s use of it.

If you believe content is being processed through FrameCatcher in a way that infringes your rights, contact support@framecatcher.app. Please note what we can actually do: we cannot see, remove or preserve footage we never receive.

FrameCatcher is free. Every mode and every export is free to use, with no account, no limit on how often you use it, and no limit on the length of a video. We do not sell subscriptions, credits or any paid tier, and we never ask for payment details.

If you would like to put something toward the cost of keeping it online, there is a Donate page. A donation is voluntary and buys nothing: there is no tier to unlock, no feature held back, and no difference in how the Service works for someone who has given and someone who has not. Donations are handled entirely by third-party platforms, under their own terms, and are not refundable by us because they never reach us as a payment for anything.

The Service is provided “as is,” without warranties of any kind. We do not promise that detection will find every cut, that it will agree with your own judgement about where a shot begins, or that the Service will be available or error-free at any particular moment.

Keep your originals. Everything happens in one browser tab: closing it, refreshing it, or running out of memory loses whatever has not been saved yet. We hold no copy, so there is nothing for us to recover for you.

To the fullest extent permitted by Thai law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential loss arising from your use of the Service, including lost work, lost time or lost data. Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

We may update these Terms as the Service changes. Material changes will be reflected by updating the “Last updated” date above.

These Terms are governed by the laws of Thailand, and any dispute will be subject to the jurisdiction of the Thai courts.
