Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 9, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains what information is handled when you use ExtractFrames at extract-frames-from-video.com (the "Service"), which is run by an individual developer ("we", "us").

The short version

• The videos you open and the frames you extract are processed in your own browser. They are not uploaded to us or anyone else.
• You do not need an account to use the Service.
• We do not sell personal information.

Your videos and frames

When you open a video, your browser reads and decodes the file on your device. Frame capture, scene detection, ZIP files and contact sheets are all created on your device. The video, its file name and the images are not transmitted to our servers, and we cannot see them.

Captured frames are kept only in the memory of the open browser tab. They are not saved to your browser's storage, and they are gone when you close or reload the page, so download what you need first.

The only thing the site keeps in your browser's storage is your light or dark theme choice.

The "Try a sample video" button downloads a short test video from our site to your browser. It does not send anything about you or your files.

Visits to the site

Like most websites, the Service records basic technical information about visits:

• Server logs. Our hosting provider, Vercel Inc., processes your IP address, browser type and the pages requested in order to deliver the site and protect it from abuse.

• Analytics. We use Google Analytics to understand how many people visit and which pages and features they use. It collects pages viewed, approximate location derived from your IP address, and device and browser type. The tool also sends these events, and nothing else:

  • tool_use, with one of: video-opened, sample-opened, capture, interval, even, scenes, first-last, every-frame;
  • file_download, with the kind of download (frame, frames-zip or contact-sheet) and its format (png, jpg, webp or zip).

  These events never include your video, its file name, or the images. Outside the EEA, the UK and Switzerland, Google Analytics sets cookies to count returning visitors. For visitors in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland it is set to not store cookies (Google's consent mode, with consent denied by default). You can opt out everywhere with Google's browser add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

How we use information

We use the visit information above to keep the Service running, to prevent abuse, and to decide what to improve. We do not try to identify individual visitors from it. Where the GDPR applies, the legal basis is our legitimate interest in running and improving a free service.

Third parties

We rely on Vercel to host the site and on Google Analytics for visit statistics. Both are based in the United States, so visit information may be processed there. Google processes it under its own terms and privacy policy (policies.google.com/privacy). We do not share, rent or sell personal information to anyone else.

Children

The Service is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to ask what personal information we hold about you and to ask us to correct or delete it. Because your videos and frames never reach us, we hold very little. To make a request, email support@extract-frames-from-video.com and we will respond within 30 days.

Changes

If the way the Service handles information changes, for example if advertising is added, we will update this policy and the date above before the change takes effect.
