FrameExtractor is a modern, cross-platform video frame extractor with a beautiful GUI built using Avalonia UI and FFmpeg.
It lets you extract frames from any video file with precise control over time range, FPS, output format, and naming.

Note

This is a new rewrite of FrameExtractor using C#/Avalonia, and the features still not stable yet.
