Video to PNG Sequence Converter

Turn any MP4 or WebM video into a ZIP of PNG frames — free, in your browser. Nothing is uploaded: your file is decoded locally, so it works fast and stays private. Transparency in WebM alpha videos is preserved.

Your browser doesn't support the WebCodecs API needed for local video decoding.

Please use a recent version of Chrome, Edge, or Safari (16.4+).

What is a PNG sequence?

A PNG sequence is a video exported as individual numbered PNG images — one per frame. Editors like After Effects, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, and game engines import PNG sequences directly, and because PNG supports an alpha channel, it's the classic way to move transparent video between tools. See our PNG sequence guide with a live example for a deeper explanation.

Need a transparent background first?

If your video still has its background, run it through the AI video background remover first, export as WebM with alpha, then convert it here — you'll get PNG frames with true transparency, ready for overlays and compositing.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert a video to a PNG sequence for free?

Drop your MP4 or WebM file into the converter, pick a frame rate, and download the frames as a ZIP of PNG images. The conversion runs entirely in your browser — it's free and there's no watermark on the frames.

Is my video uploaded to a server?

No. The converter decodes your video locally in your browser using the WebCodecs API. The file never leaves your device, which also makes it fast and safe for private footage.

Do the PNG frames keep transparency?

Yes. If your source video has an alpha channel (like WebM with alpha transparency), the exported PNG frames preserve it. To get a transparent video from normal footage first, use the AI background remover, export as WebM alpha, then convert it here.

How many frames will my video produce?

Frames = duration × frame rate. A 10-second clip at 30 fps is 300 PNGs. For long videos, choose a lower extraction rate (like 10, 5, or 1 fps) to keep the ZIP small and the conversion fast.

Which browsers does the PNG sequence converter support?

Chrome, Edge, and Safari 16.4+ work out of the box. It relies on the WebCodecs API, so very old browsers may not be supported — the page will tell you if yours isn't.
