Convert MP4 to JPEG
What is MP4?
MP4
Each second of MP4 video consists of 24-60 individual frames (complete images). Image formats like JPG or PNG represent a single frozen moment in time. Converting video to image means extracting one specific frame from the sequence or generating a thumbnail from keyframes—selecting one instant from continuous motion data rather than converting the entire temporal sequence.
- MP4 stores sequential frames at 24-60fps, enabling frame extraction as images
- Frame rate (24-60fps) means hundreds of images extractable per second
- Each frame at video resolution (720p-4K) becomes individual JPEG image
- Universal browser and device support—no compatibility concerns
What is JPEG?
JPEG
JPEG stores a single static image frame using lossy compression. Video requires thousands of frames per second plus synchronized audio. One image is one frozen moment—creating video from a single JPEG would produce a static slideshow, not true motion video. You need sequences of images to create video content.
- JPEG stores static single-frame images, requiring frame sequencing for video creation
- DCT-based compression removes high-frequency visual data
- Single static frame—video requires frame duplication or sequencing

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I convert several MP4 files to JPEG in one go?
Definitely. Free users can convert 3 .mp4 files simultaneously. Premium users get 20-file batches with ZIP packaging. All .jpeg outputs preserve source quality and metadata.
What security measures protect MP4 files during conversion?
HTTPS encryption during upload, isolated processing environment, automatic deletion after 5 minutes. Austrian servers under strict EU privacy laws. Zero MP4 data retention.
Can I convert large MP4 files to JPEG?
Free users: MP4 files up to 100MB. Premium users: MP4 files up to 500MB. Both tiers handle typical video files easily. Upgrade for professional JPEG conversion of larger MP4 assets.
What's the processing time for converting MP4 to JPEG?
Video processing is intensive. MP4 files under 20MB convert to JPEG in 30-60 seconds. Larger video files or high-resolution content may take 2-5 minutes. Each video frame requires individual processing.
