How to create a video thumbnail sheet
- Open a local video. Play the source preview to locate the section you want to review.
- Set start and end in seconds. Start must be zero or later; end must be after start and within the clip.
- Choose the grid. Select 6, 12, 24 or 36 frames and 2, 3, 4 or 6 columns. Fewer columns make a taller sheet.
- Select PNG or JPEG and create the sheet. Wait for the sampled images to appear.
- Check the result and download. Changing the range, grid or format clears the previous result; create it again after adjustments.
Example: review a section of an interview
For a two-minute interview, select seconds 30–90, six frames and three columns. The two-row sheet samples seconds 35, 45, 55, 65, 75 and 85. The labels retain those source positions rather than starting at zero.
Use the grid to identify a promising passage, then play that part of the original video. If a gesture is missing, narrow the range around it or increase the count. For separate images, use Video to Images. If the source is sideways, rotate it first. Browse all free tools for other edits.
