Extremely simple, seriously capable
How to pull crisp stills from any video.
Add a video to your canvas and grab the exact frame you need as a still image. The frame lands right on the board, ready to become a shot list entry, a storyboard panel, or a thumbnail, with no screenshots and no quality loss from screen capture.

How it works
How to grab a frame from a video.
Three steps from clip to clean still image.
1
Add your video
Open a board and pull the clip in from your files. It plays right on the canvas, next to the rest of your project.
2
Grab the frame
Find the moment you want and grab it. Storyflow captures that frame as a still image and places it on the canvas beside the video.
3
Put the still to work
Download the frame, or use it immediately in shot lists, storyboards, thumbnails, and briefs on the same board.

Build reference libraries from the videos you study.
When you break down a film, an ad, or a competitor's video, the frames are the notes. Grab the compositions worth keeping and collect them on the board next to the clip, tagged with your observations.
Turn footage into storyboard panels.
Previz, test shoots, and location scouts produce video, but storyboards need frames. Grab stills from the footage and drop them straight into panels, so the board reflects what the camera actually saw.
Reference real frames in your shot lists.
A shot list that says "low angle, wide" is a guess; a shot list with the actual frame beside it is a plan. Pull stills from references and dailies and attach them to each setup so the whole crew sees the same picture.
Pick thumbnails and key art from the finished cut.
The best thumbnail is usually already in the video. Scan the cut, grab the strongest candidates, and compare them side by side on the canvas before you commit, with the whole film plan in view.

Stills that land where your shot list lives.
Storyflow captures still frames from videos directly on its canvas, no screen recording tricks and no blurry screenshots. Use it to pull storyboard panels from previz, collect compositions while studying references, or shortlist thumbnail options from a finished cut. Each grabbed frame appears beside its source clip, one drag away from the storyboard panel or shot list entry it was captured for.
Capture video frames online.
Frame grabbing works right in the browser; there is no installer to download. Add a clip to a board, pull the stills you need, then save them to your device or keep working with them right on the canvas.
From grabbed frame to finished board.
Every still you grab gets Storyflow's full image toolbar: crop it, upscale it for print, remove the background, or annotate it with the pen tool. Arrange the results into shot lists, storyboards, and briefs with the 200+ tactics included in every plan, then share a view-only link for feedback.

How frame grabbing works, and what it takes to get started.
Add your video to a board, find the moment you want, and grab the frame. Storyflow captures it as a still image and places it on the canvas beside the video, ready to download or use in your boards.
