Guides

Frame extraction guides

Choose a published guide by task, platform, quality goal, dataset workflow, or comparison. Categories without a guide yet are kept as signposts, not promises.

Tasks and automation

Use a command-line workflow when you need repeatable extraction from a file you are allowed to process.

Platforms

Learn how to capture a YouTube still at the resolution delivered to your browser, while respecting the creator’s rights and the platform’s terms.

Quality and still capture

This published guide explains how YouTube playback resolution affects a capture. It does not promise a quality level beyond the stream delivered to your browser.

Dataset workflows

No dedicated dataset guide is published yet. Start with the existing local sampling tool for files you have permission to use.

Compare approaches

See the trade-offs among local browser tools, command-line workflows, and upload-based services.
