Simple Frame Save
Read full descriptionHide full description
SimpleFrames is focused on saving still images from videos, GIFs, and Live Photos without turning the job into a full editing project. Import media, drag the timeline to choose a range, then generate candidate frames with even sampling, sharp frames, subject focus, scene changes, keyframes, frame intervals, or exact timestamps. Results open in a dedicated gallery so you can select, deduplicate, batch save, or share. It is useful for making cover images, saving clear moments from videos, organizing design references, finding key frames in GIFs, or keeping one frame from a Live Photo. SimpleFrames processes the media you choose on your device. It does not create accounts, use advertising or analytics SDKs, track users, or upload imported videos, GIFs, Live Photos, or exported frames to our servers. Pro unlocks higher frame limits and high-quality export presets. First use starts a 3-day full Pro trial, and Lifetime Pro is a one-time purchase handled by App Store.
