How to create a video thumbnail sheet

  1. Open a local video. Play the source preview to locate the section you want to review.
  2. Set start and end in seconds. Start must be zero or later; end must be after start and within the clip.
  3. Choose the grid. Select 6, 12, 24 or 36 frames and 2, 3, 4 or 6 columns. Fewer columns make a taller sheet.
  4. Select PNG or JPEG and create the sheet. Wait for the sampled images to appear.
  5. 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.

Questions about video contact sheets

How are the frames selected?

The selected range is split into equal intervals, and the tool samples each interval’s midpoint. It does not include the exact start or end. There is no scene detection, AI highlight selection or generated storyboard; short actions may fall between samples.

Are my videos uploaded?

No. Reading the video and creating the image happen on your device, without an account or credits. The page may download code, but does not upload your clip. Save the sheet before leaving.

What do the timestamp labels mean?

Each label shows its requested position in the source video as hours:minutes:seconds.milliseconds, even when the selected range starts later. Millisecond formatting does not guarantee a frame-exact capture: browser seeking may return a nearby frame.

How large are the thumbnails?

Each image fits inside a fixed 320 × 180 pixel tile without cropping or stretching. Portrait or square footage leaves black space. Numbered timestamps sit below the pictures. Columns change the sheet’s shape, not tile size; the final dimensions appear beside the controls.

Should I choose PNG or JPEG?

PNG keeps the rendered grid and labels without JPEG compression. JPEG is a compressed alternative for sharing; file size depends on the images. Both produce one still sheet, without sound. Separate full-resolution frames, PDF and ZIP are not output options here.

Which videos can I use?

Choose one local video your browser can decode. MP4, MOV and WebM can contain different codecs, so the extension alone is not enough. Capacity depends on your device and source resolution. Longer or difficult-to-seek clips may take more time; keep the tab open.
