Video Frame Extractor

Extract the first or last frame from any video file as a high-quality image.

Simple tool so that you can generate a video, take the last image with this tool, and use that image as the starting frame for the next video with an img2vid model

Overview

This Replicate model takes any video as input and returns either the first or last frame as an image. It’s perfect for quickly generating thumbnails, previewing video content, or creating before/after comparisons.

How It Works

The model uses OpenCV to efficiently extract frames without processing the entire video. It accepts any common video format supported by ffmpeg (MP4, AVI, MOV, etc.).

Web UI Usage

  1. Upload your video file
  2. Toggle “Return First Frame” if you want the first frame instead of the last
  3. Run the model
  4. Download the resulting image

Use Cases

  • Create video thumbnails automatically
  • Compare starting and ending states in a video
  • Extract key frames for documentation
  • Generate preview images for video libraries
  • Create before/after comparison images

Limitations

  • The model simply extracts existing frames and does not enhance image quality
  • Very large video files may take longer to process
  • Corrupted videos or videos with unusual codecs may not work properly
