TURN ANY VIDEO MOMENT INTO A PERFECT PHOTO Tired of blurry screenshots? Photo Extractor pulls frames straight out of your videos at the original video resolution — no downscaling, no re-compression, no quality loss. A priceless family moment, a perfect action shot, a face caught mid-laugh: every frame comes out exactly as the camera recorded it. ―――――――――――――――――――――― BEST FRAME — LET IT FIND THE SHOT Point Best Frame at a moment — up to 15 seconds of your video — and it scores the frames inside for sharpness, faces, open eyes, smiles and motion, then lines up its strongest candidates. Re-rank them by Smiling, or by Everyone when you want the whole group in the shot. Compare two head to head, then save the one you want at full resolution. SMART DETECTION DOES THE SCRUBBING FOR YOU • Face Detection — built on Apple's Vision framework, it finds the frames where faces are clearly captured, so you stop hunting frame by frame. • Scene Detection — spots where the shot changes and marks those moments as extraction points. Long videos get a lot shorter. FRAME-EXACT CAPTURE Zero time tolerance: the frame you see on the timeline is the exact frame you get. No drift, no "close enough". BATCH EXPORT — SAVE MANY AT ONCE Extract 10, 50 or hundreds of frames in one session. Tap frames yourself on the timeline, or let smart detection pick them. Export the whole set in a single tap — to your Camera Roll or to Files. MULTI-FORMAT EXPORT • PNG — lossless, maximum quality • JPG — adjustable quality, optimized for sharing & storage • HEIC — Apple's space-saving format YOU CONTROL THE METADATA Keep the original capture date on your exports, or switch on "Remove GPS location" to strip location data before anything is saved. PROCESSED ON YOUR IPHONE Your videos and photos are processed entirely on device — they are never uploaded to a server, and no account is required. FLEXIBLE SHARING Save to Camera Roll in the app's own album, send to Messages or AirDrop, or hand off to any app on your iPhone. Bulk-export to Files when you want folders. ―――――――――――――――――――――― PERFECT FOR: • Parents saving the best smiles from long family videos • Creators who need sharp stills for thumbnails and social posts • Athletes and coaches reviewing form frame by frame • Anyone who has ever screenshotted a video and been disappointed SUBSCRIPTION: • Premium gives you unlimited use of Best Frame and Smart Detection. • Payment charged to Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. • Auto-renews unless canceled at least 24 hours before renewal. • Manage or cancel subscriptions in Settings > Apple ID > Subscriptions.
