One frame, every few seconds
Screenshot a video at regular intervals
Need a frame every few seconds instead of by shot? Interval Capture grabs one frame at a fixed pace you choose, and runs entirely in your browser.
How it works
- 1
Choose your video
It loads locally in your browser. The video is never uploaded to a server.
- 2
Set the interval
Pick any interval with the slider, and see an estimate of how many frames you will get.
- 3
Capture and export
Frames are captured on the spot and exported as a ZIP, contact sheet, GIF, or palette.
- One frame at a fixed interval you control
- Runs entirely in your browser, nothing is uploaded
- A live estimate of the frame count before you start
- Export straight to a ZIP, contact sheet, GIF, or color palette
What people use it for
A long recording, summarised
Screen recordings, lectures, timelapses and dashcam footage usually have no cuts at all, so shot detection has nothing to find. A frame every N seconds turns hours into a page you can skim.
Notes from a tutorial or a lecture
A frame at a steady pace captures the slides, the diagrams and the code on screen, in order, without sitting through it again.
Reviewing footage where nothing cuts
Security, drone and locked-off camera footage is one continuous shot. Interval capture is the right tool there, and shot detection is the wrong one.
Frequently asked
- Does my video get uploaded?
- No. Interval Capture reads the video locally in your browser and captures frames there. The file never leaves your device.
- How small can the interval be?
- You can set the interval freely with the slider, down to a single second between frames.
- What intervals can I choose?
- Anything from 1 second to 5 minutes, set with a slider. The page shows roughly how many frames that will produce before you start.
- Is there a limit on how many frames?
- It stops at 2,000 frames in one run. That is a limit of your browser's memory rather than ours, and the page tells you before it starts rather than failing partway.
- When should I use this instead of shot detection?
- When the footage has no cuts. Detection finds shot boundaries, so on one continuous take it will find one shot. Interval capture ignores content entirely and samples on a clock.
