Portable Frammer 1.0.5 (x64)
Frammer Portable is a minimalist yet powerful video frame extraction application available across iOS, macOS, and Windows platforms through the Microsoft Store, meticulously designed for filmmakers, photographers, content creators, videographers, and animation enthusiasts who need to precisely capture and export individual frames from videos as high-quality still images for storyboarding, reference screenshots, promotional materials, print posters, or digital art projects.
This elegantly simple tool stands out with its touch-optimized, gesture-driven interface that allows users to scrub through videos frame-by-frame at half-speed or full-speed in both forward and reverse directions, using intuitive finger taps for play/pause, sliders for precise positioning, and multi-touch gestures for cropping, rotating, and scaling selected frames before saving them as JPEG, PNG, or TIFF files directly to the photo library or shared albums.
Whether dissecting a cinematic sequence to analyze director’s choices, pulling key moments from smartphone footage for social media graphics, creating custom thumbnails for YouTube videos, or archiving pivotal frames from 4K/8K high-dynamic-range recordings without quality loss, Frammer delivers pixel-perfect extraction with zero bloat, running offline and locally to ensure privacy and performance on devices ranging from iPhone SE to high-end MacBooks and Windows laptops.
The app’s philosophy embodies “precision through simplicity”—eschewing complex menus or feature creep in favor of a single-screen workflow where videos from the device’s camera roll appear in a clean list, tapping one launches full-screen playback with overlaid controls that fade during scrubbing, enabling creators to isolate the exact millisecond of action with surgical accuracy. Compatible with all major video codecs including H.264, H.265/HEVC, ProRes, and AV1, Frammer handles everything from 240fps slow-motion clips to multi-gigabyte cinema files, outputting frames at native resolution with optional adjustments for composition, aspect ratio, and export quality.
