FanFrame is a precision frame-by-frame video capture tool for creators, photographers, and anyone who wants to preserve the perfect moment from a video. Find the exact frame you need and save it to Photos at its original qualityβ€”without a complicated editing workflow. PRECISE FRAME CONTROL Navigate with a visual filmstrip timeline, jump five seconds at a time, or step forward and backward one frame at a time to catch expressions, movements, and moments that disappear in an instant. ORIGINAL-QUALITY CAPTURE Works with 4K, 2K, and 1080p videos. FanFrame extracts frames directly from the original video without recompressing them, preserving as much resolution and detail as possible. LIVE PHOTO EXPORT Turn a selected moment into a Live Photo with one tap, then save and share it from your Photos library. VIDEO LIBRARY Keep track of imported videos and continue from your last viewed position. Videos remain in your Photos library, so FanFrame does not create unnecessary duplicate copies. GREAT FOR β€’ Concert and stage highlights β€’ Sports, dance, and motion analysis β€’ Film stills, visual assets, and memes β€’ Family, pets, and travel memories FanFrame supports iPhone and iPad, with English and Simplified Chinese interfaces that follow your device language. Import up to three videos free each month. A lifetime purchase unlocks unlimited imports and the complete feature set.
