Save Frame is a fully featured frame extraction app. It’s a lot simpler and better than taking screenshots: screenshots need to be cropped, have a large file size, no HDR colors, and are not the full resolution of the video. By comparison, Save Frame extracts frames at the full resolution of the video, saving them as efficient HEIC files, includes the full HDR colors from your video. You can extract frames easily with a single tap, rather than the multi-step process of taking, then cropping a screenshot.
Compared to other apps on iOS, Save Frame stands out by being completely free (no yearly subscription, no IAPs at all), improved color and bulk extraction support, and has a modern liquid glass UI. You can even use it in private access mode, without granting full photo library access.
