Turn a video into a PDF. Take a picture every few seconds, or let the tool catch each new slide. Pick the pages you want and download one PDF.
🔒 Your video never leaves your phone or computer. Everything happens inside your browser — no upload, no sign-up.
📂 Choose a video or drop it here · MP4, WebM, MOV (works best with MP4)
Tip: pause the video at a good moment and tap “Add this frame” to add pages by hand.

What this tool does
It opens your video in the browser, jumps through it and saves still pictures (frames). Then it puts those pictures into one PDF. The PDF is made of images, so it looks exactly like the video at that moment.
“Each new slide” compares every picture with the last one it kept. When the screen changes enough — a new slide, a new page, a new step — it keeps that picture. It waits until the picture is still, so you don't get a half-faded slide, and it ignores small parts that keep moving, like the teacher's webcam in a corner. “Every few seconds” simply takes a picture at a fixed gap. “Fixed number” spreads the pictures evenly over the video.

How to use it
Choose a video from your phone or computer. Wait until it shows in the player.
Pick a mode. For slides, start with Each new slide · medium.
Optional: set start and end time to skip the intro and the end.
Tap Get pictures from video. A long video takes a while — you can stop at any time and keep what you have.
Tap pictures you don't want. Use Add this frame for any moment the tool missed.
Choose a page layout and tap Make PDF. Download it.
How to read the result
Too many almost-same pages? Lower the sensitivity or choose “Check every 2 s”.
A slide is missing? Raise the sensitivity. “High” also catches a new bullet point on the same slide. Or pause on it and tap “Add this frame”.
Pages look blurry? The video itself is low quality (for example 480p). Choose “Original size” and quality 90+.
PDF too big to email? Use “Max 960 px” and quality 70, or send it through our Compress PDF tool.
The time under each picture (like 12:34) tells you where in the video that page comes from — handy to jump back.
What this tool can NOT do
No YouTube or other links. You need the video file on your device. Only use videos you are allowed to use.
No sound, no subtitles, no speech-to-text. The PDF only has pictures, not what people say.
The text in the PDF is not searchable or copyable — it is a picture of the screen (no OCR).
Some video types don't open. Your browser has to be able to play the video. MP4 (H.264) works almost everywhere. iPhone “High Efficiency” (HEVC) .mov, .mkv, .avi or .wmv may not open in some browsers. Fix: on iPhone, open it in Safari, or set Camera → Formats → Most Compatible for new videos.
Protected videos (Netflix, paid courses with copy protection) give black pictures.
Maximum 300 pictures per PDF, so your phone does not run out of memory. Very long videos in “each new slide” mode can take several minutes.
Questions
Is my video uploaded anywhere?
No. The video is opened from your device by your own browser. The pictures and the PDF are made on your device. You can even turn off the internet after the page has loaded.
Can I convert a YouTube video to PDF?
Not with a link. This tool only works with a video file on your device. If the video is yours (or you have the right to use it), use the file you have.
Why are some pictures black?
Either the video is copy-protected, or your browser cannot decode that video type. Try the same video in Chrome or Safari, or convert it to MP4 first.
How long does it take?
“Every few seconds” is quick. “Each new slide” checks the video every 1 second by default, so a 1-hour lecture means about 3,600 checks — usually a few minutes on a computer, longer on an older phone. Use “Check every 2 s” to make it faster.
Does it work on iPhone and Android?
Yes, in Safari and Chrome. Keep the screen on while it works. On older phones, use “Max 960 px” for long videos.
How do I send the PDF on WhatsApp?
After “Make PDF”, tap 📤 Share and pick WhatsApp (works on most Android phones and iPhones). No Share button? Tap Download, then in WhatsApp tap 📎 → Document → choose the PDF. Sending it as a document keeps the quality.
Can I add more pages later?
Yes. Pause the video anywhere and tap “Add this frame”. New pictures are sorted by time automatically. To join this PDF with another one, use Merge PDF.
