Cut any video frame with all its metadata. Frames can be saved back to the Photo Library, to Files, or Shared. All metadata available in the video (like location, camera information, and time of the video) is saved into the frames file. When you add a frame back into photos, it will sit right next to the original video. The time of the frame is even adjusted to the video time plus the time of the frame itself. Open a video using the Share Extension. From Photos or Files, share a video and choose the FrameCutter extension to cut a frame right there. This is a free app, there are no paywall or subscriptions in any manner. If the app is useful, there is an In-App-Purchase to tip the developer.
FrameCat
Read full descriptionHide full description
FrameCat is a Frame Catcher. It captures screenshots at the video's original resolution, so you do not have to rely on ordinary phone screenshots. It supports landscape and portrait videos, single-video captures, and multi-video frame capture. Save one frame at a time, or stitch your captured frames into one long image after you finish. FrameCat's touchpad-style control helps you move to the exact frame you want, then tap lightly to capture it with confidence.
