Privacy Policy

The short version

• Your videos are processed entirely in your own browser and are never uploaded to us or anyone else.
• We don't have user accounts, and we don't ask for your name or email to use the tool.
• The site currently sets no cookies and runs no analytics, advertising or tracking scripts.
• If that changes, we'll update this policy before it does.

How your videos are processed

When you choose or drop a video file, your browser gives the page access to that file on your device. The page plays it with your browser's built-in video decoder, draws the frames you ask for onto an HTML canvas, and encodes them as JPG or PNG images. Downloads — including ZIP files — are created in your browser's memory and saved directly to your device.

At no point is the video, any frame, or any information about the file (such as its name, size or content) sent to framegrab.io or to a third party. The site is served as static files and has no server-side upload endpoint or database. When you close or reload the tab, the video and extracted frames are discarded from memory.

If you press “Try a sample clip”, your browser downloads a short demo video from framegrab.io. That is an ordinary file download from our server to you; nothing is sent back.

Information collected when you visit

Like every website, framegrab.io has to be delivered by a web server. Our hosting and content-delivery provider may automatically process standard request information — such as your IP address, browser user agent, the page requested and the time of the request — to deliver the site, keep it secure and prevent abuse. These are infrastructure logs kept by the hosting provider under its own retention policies; we don't combine them with other data or use them to build profiles.

Cookies and local storage

framegrab.io does not currently set any cookies, and it does not use local storage, session storage or similar technologies to identify you. Your tool settings (format, quality, interval) live only in the open page and are reset when you leave.

Analytics and advertising

We currently use no analytics service, no advertising network and no third-party scripts, fonts or embeds. In the future we may add privacy-respecting analytics to understand overall usage, and we may show ads (for example via Google AdSense) to keep the tool free. Such services may use cookies or similar technologies, and in some regions will require your consent. Before adding any of them we will update this policy to name the provider, describe what it collects and explain your choices. Even then, your videos and frames will continue to be processed only on your device.

Emails you send us

If you email us at contact@framegrab.io, we receive your email address and whatever you include in your message. We use it only to reply to you and keep it only as long as needed for that conversation. Please don't attach videos unless you want us to see them.

Children

framegrab.io is a general-purpose tool not directed at children, and we don't knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children.

Your rights

Because we don't collect personal data through the tool, there's usually nothing for us to access, correct or delete. If you've emailed us and want that correspondence deleted, or you have any question about your rights under laws such as the GDPR or CCPA, contact us and we'll respond promptly.

Changes to this policy

We'll update this page whenever our practices change — in particular before adding analytics or advertising — and change the “Last updated” date at the top.
