Sharpest finds the frame that is actually in focus, so you never save the blurry one. Frame Grab scores the frames around your playhead and lands on the crispest — then grabs a whole batch in one run and packages them as a ZIP or a contact-sheet PDF. Send a video straight in from any app's share sheet or open one from Files, scrub a filmstrip to the exact moment, then step frame by frame with ±1 and ±10 until you are on the one you want. SHARPEST • Tap Sharpest and the app measures focus across the frames near your playhead, then moves to the crispest one • In a batch it keeps its picks spread apart in time, so you don't get five copies of one moment • One scan per video on the free plan; Pro removes the limit GRAB A BATCH • Take many frames from one video in a single run — evenly spaced, at a set interval, around the playhead, from your own marks, or the sharpest ones • Save them to Photos, or package the run as a ZIP or a contact-sheet PDF • 3 frames per run on the free plan, up to 60 with Pro SEND A VIDEO STRAIGHT IN • Share a video to Frame Grab from Photos, Files, Messages or any app with a Share button • iOS does not let a share extension open its own app, so open Frame Grab afterwards — the video is waiting in the frame selector • Everything you have shared stays in the Imported list until you remove it • Or open a video straight from Files — no photo-library access needed; Frame Grab only ever asks to ADD the frames you save FRAME BY FRAME • Scrub a visual filmstrip — drag upward for finer, frame-by-frame control • Step by single frames (±1, ±10), or Jump To an exact time or frame number • Pinch to zoom and check focus before you export • Export at full native resolution as JPEG, free — no forced downscaling • Preview and export are both decoded with zero time tolerance, so you save the frame you are looking at • Keeps the video's original capture date, so your photos sort by when they were filmed • Video Info shows resolution, frame rate and duration while you scrub • Free exports unlock by watching a short video, or go Pro to export instantly, ad-free PRO • Batch runs of up to 60 frames • Sharpest on every frame, not one scan per video • ZIP and contact-sheet PDF packaging • PNG (lossless) and HEIC formats • Frame Library — your saved frames, synced across your devices over iCloud • No ads IPHONE AND IPAD Works with HDR, 4K, slow-motion and portrait video; orientation and aspect ratio are always preserved. Hardware-keyboard arrow stepping on iPad, haptic feedback on iPhone. The interface is available in 12 languages besides English, including full right-to-left layout for Arabic. PERFECT FOR • A contact sheet of every usable frame in a take, to choose from with a client • The one in-focus frame out of a fast pan or a burst • Real-estate and product stills pulled from a walkthrough • A clean, text-free still off a screen recording — PRO UPGRADE OPTIONS — Unlock Pro as an auto-renewable subscription or a one-time purchase: • Pro Monthly — $2.99 / month • Pro Yearly — $17.99 / year • Pro Lifetime — $34.99 once (no subscription — Pro forever, no renewal) Monthly and Yearly include a 7-day free trial for first-time subscribers.
