FramePull is a native Mac app for extracting still frames, animated GIFs, and video clips from any video file — fast, with zero setup. Drop in a video and the app automatically detects scene cuts, then distributes still markers across your footage. Prefer faces in your frames? Enable the Face Preference mode and the app uses Apple's Vision framework to reposition each marker onto the best face-forward moment nearby. Everything runs on-device with no internet connection required. WHAT YOU CAN EXPORT • Still frames — JPEG, PNG, or TIFF at full or scaled resolution • Animated GIFs — configurable width (320 / 480 / 640 px) and frame rate • Video clips — short MP4 snippets per scene at 480p up to 4K, with optional 4:5 and 9:16 aspect ratio variants TWO MODES Auto Mode analyzes your video and places markers automatically. Adjust the count and placement strategy, then review on the interactive timeline before exporting. Manual Mode lets you step frame-by-frame and mark exact moments yourself — press S to mark a still, I/O to set clip in/out points. Full undo/redo included. PRIVACY FIRST No accounts. No subscriptions. No ads. No analytics. No tracking. The app only reads the video file you choose and writes exports to the folder you choose — nothing else is ever accessed. Built with native Apple frameworks only: AVFoundation, Vision, CoreImage, ImageIO, AppKit.
