About the MP4 to PNG Converter
Need to turn a MP4 file into PNG? This free converter changes MP4 videos into PNG in a few seconds, right in your browser. People usually convert because sometimes you only need the audio track, a GIF or still frames from the video, while PNG gives you lossless quality with transparency. PNG files open in every browser, Windows Photos, macOS Preview, Photoshop, Canva and GIMP.
Audio and video are processed by FFmpeg compiled to WebAssembly, the same open-source engine behind VLC and HandBrake, running inside your browser tab. Because everything happens on your own device, your videos are never uploaded, stored or seen by anyone else, which makes it safe for family videos, client footage and private recordings.
What to expect: frames are captured at the interval you choose, and each one is saved as a full-resolution PNG; the processing engine (about 30 MB) is downloaded once and then cached by your browser.
How to use the MP4 to PNG Converter
- Click "Choose files" or drag your MP4 videos onto the box. You can add several at once.
- Choose how often to capture a frame, for example every 1, 5 or 10 seconds.
- Press "Convert to PNG". The conversion runs on your device and shows its progress.
- Download each PNG file, or use "Download all (ZIP)" when you converted several.
- Open the result in every browser or Windows Photos to check it; your original MP4 is never changed.
Tips & benchmarks
- PNG is lossless, so the result will look identical to the source; photos may become noticeably larger than the original.
- Very large videos (over about 1 GB) may exceed the memory of a phone browser; trim them first with our Trim Video tool.
- Keep the file name simple (letters, numbers and hyphens) if you plan to upload the PNG to a website or government portal.

What is the difference between MP4 and PNG?
MP4 (MPEG-4 Part 14) is a video container (usually H.264 + AAC) best suited to sharing on WhatsApp, Instagram and YouTube and playing on any device. PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is a lossless raster image best suited to screenshots, logos, icons, charts and any image that needs a transparent background.
Is there a file size limit?
There is no upload limit, because nothing is uploaded. The practical limit is your device's memory: files of a few hundred megabytes work on most computers, and phones handle smaller files comfortably.
How do I convert MP4 to PNG without losing quality?
Keep the resolution on "Keep original" and choose the "High" quality preset. When the source is already H.264, MOV and M4V files are re-packaged without re-encoding, which is completely lossless.
