### 5/5 — life saver for concerts!

*2026-08-17*

i mostly take vids during concerts so i love how this gives me the option of having hq pics of what i capture as well. i also like how the pics save w the accurate time stamps, i didn’t expect that and was pleasantly surprised. been using it for all my bts concert vids (thanks twitter) and i rly like it so far!

### 5/5 — Finally !

*2026-08-06*

Just does the job !

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2026-06-29*

Exactly what I was looking for, no weird add ons or extra things to figure out . Was easy to understand

### 5/5 — A model app

*2026-05-31, version 1.0.0*

A rare find: a useful tool, well executed and ad free. Does exactly what I needed it to without over complicating things.

### 5/5 — Really great app

*2026-05-13*

Has all the features one needs from frame exporter app. I wish I could select different video with one tap rather than two though 😅

**Developer response:** Done! In the next update (0.10.2) there will be a new button to select a different video with a single tap. I’m glad you are enjoying the app!

### 5/5 — Brilliant. Does what it says on the tin!

*2026-05-05, version 0.9.3*

I am not one for leaving comments in reviews, but this definitely deserves one. I came across a post by the author on Reddit stating they created an app to solve a problem that another one went paid. This app is brilliant. Does one thing, extremely well.

### 4/5 — Great for free

*2026-03-31*

So it’s awesome because I can extract multiple freeze frames out of a video directly on my phone, it correctly saves the EXIF and GPS metadata to each photo, and the choosing function already filters to videos only. I seem to be able to do this for free with multiple videos, so I’m happy.

What’s not so great or that the buttons keep disappearing as I use it, the menu is a little weird, and the progress bar is both a little too opaque to see image details through and the slider gets stuck at the end so I can’t drag it back into the middle somewhere.

### 5/5 — Must-have for GoPro / Drone Photo Grabs

*2026-03-02*

I’m always surprised that even big name apps lack a basic frame-by-frame jog control and photo extraction. This app does exactly what you would expect and helps me get the exact frames I need from my dog leaping into the air

### 5/5 — Simple and effective.

*2026-02-21*

App is well designed. Simple and intuitive interface. Works as expected.

### 5/5 — Simple, superb app

*2026-02-06*

Does exactly what it says it is going to do, helped me get what I needed in fifteen seconds

### 0.10.2 — 2026-05-14

New: Quick video switcher
  A new button on the main screen lets you load a different video in one tap — no need to navigate back  
  through the full picker flow.                             
                                                                                                       
  New: Pinch to zoom tip in guided tour
  The guided tour now includes a tip about pinch-to-zoom so new users discover it right away.
                                                                                                         
  Export improvements
                                                                                                         
  HDR video support                                         
  Frames extracted from HDR videos — including Dolby Vision and HLG footage shot on iPhone — are now   
  exported as true HDR images. The full color depth and dynamic range of the original footage is         
  preserved in the saved photo.
                                                                                                         
  Accurate frame timestamps                                 
  Each exported frame is now stamped with its exact moment in the video. If a clip was recorded at 6:01
  PM and you export a frame 30 seconds in, the photo's creation date reflects 6:01:30 PM — making it easy
   to sort and find frames alongside photos from the same shoot.
                                                                                                         
  Fixed: Incorrect location timestamp                       
  Exported frames were incorrectly tagged with the date and time of the export rather than the original
  recording. GPS coordinates remain accurate; only the erroneous timestamp has been removed.

### 0.10.1 — 2026-05-12

- Pinch to zoom in on your video - pan around to inspect any detail                                    
- Fixed the tip jar so you can once again buy me a coffee                              
- Small polish to the guided tour
