How link extraction works
Link extraction runs on GetVideoFrames servers: we fetch the public TikTok video, decode it with FFmpeg and keep only the frames, for 1–7 days depending on your plan. Respect creators' rights — use frames for analysis, commentary or your own content, and get permission before republishing someone else's work.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
- Can I extract frames from any TikTok?
- Any public TikTok video. Private accounts, friends-only posts and videos removed by TikTok cannot be processed, and failed links are never charged.
- How do I analyse a TikTok hook frame by frame?
- Create a free account, paste the link, and request one frame every 0.5 seconds with start 0 and end 3. You get six stills with timestamps that show exactly how the hook unfolds.
- Does it work with TikTok photo carousels?
- No. The extractor works on video posts. Photo carousels are already images and are not processed.
- How many TikToks can I process for free?
- The free account includes 100 credits a month. Most TikToks are under a minute, so that is roughly 100 videos, each with up to 100 frames.
- Can I use the frames in my own videos?
- Frames from your own content are yours to use. For other creators' videos, stick to analysis, commentary or uses allowed where you live, and ask for permission before republishing.
