Frequently asked questions
- What image format are the extracted frames?
- You can choose between PNG for lossless quality or JPEG for smaller file sizes. PNG is best when you need pixel-perfect accuracy. All frame extraction runs locally on your self-hosted server.
- Can I extract only specific frames?
- Yes, you can set a custom interval to control which frames are extracted. Options include every frame, one per second, or a custom frames-per-second rate. Processing happens on your own infrastructure without uploading video anywhere.
- How large will the ZIP download be?
- The size depends on the video resolution, number of extracted frames, and chosen image format. PNG frames are larger but lossless, while JPEG frames are smaller. SnapOtter processes everything locally on your server.
