How to convert MP4 to JPG on Windows

In File Explorer or on the desktop, select one MP4 file or as many as you like. The first time, Filee offers to download FFmpeg, the free engine it uses for this conversion.

Drop on JPG
Release the files over JPG. A progress ring counts up, and each JPG file is saved next to its original.
What Filee does for MP4 → JPG
A video dropped on JPG gives one still picture. To pick a thumbnail or go through a clip frame by frame, use the Extract frames (JPG) preset: the pictures land in a folder next to the video, every frame or every Nth. A video that would give more than 100,000 pictures or fill the disk is refused before it starts.
- Uses FFmpeg, a free optional engine that Filee downloads once into its own folder (about 100 MB). If FFmpeg is already on your PC, Filee uses it and nothing is downloaded.
- Usually a video gives one still frame. The Extract frames presets, or Save every frame of a video in a PNG or JPG preset, save every frame (or every Nth) as pictures in a folder next to the video.
- Batch: one file or hundreds, converted in parallel; a failure never stops the rest.
- Private: files are converted on your PC and never uploaded, even without internet.
- Saved next to the original, or in a folder and with a file name pattern you choose.
About MP4 and JPG
JPG
JPEG image
JPEG is the most widely used photo format. Its lossy compression keeps files small, but every save at lower quality discards some detail, and it has no transparency.
