## What it is

./frames opens a TikTok video (pasted link) or an MP4 file (dropped in) in a clip editor with a preview and a timeline. You can split, merge and delete clips, then export single frames as stills or clips cut on exact frames, with the audio kept or muted.

## Features

- Frame stepping: move forward or back one frame. Each frame shows its timestamp.
- Timestamp verification: every frame is checked against the video's own presentation timestamps, so nothing is skipped or duplicated.
- Split, trim, and export: cut on exact frames and export stills or clips, with audio kept or muted, all on one page.
- Local processing: decoding and editing run in your browser.
- Free: no tiers, no trial, no account.

## How to use

1. Paste: paste a TikTok link or drop an MP4.
2. Step: scrub frame by frame and mark your cuts.
3. Export: download frames or clips directly.

## Frequently asked questions

Q: Is ./frames really free?
A: Yes. There are no tiers, no trial, no usage limits and no account.

Q: Are my videos uploaded anywhere?
A: No. Decoding, editing and export run in your browser. For a TikTok link, our server only resolves and fetches the video so the editor can open it; for a file you drop in, nothing leaves your device.

Q: What does timestamp verification mean?
A: Every frame is checked against the video's own presentation timestamps, so no frame is skipped or duplicated when you step, cut or export.

Q: What can I export?
A: Single frames as stills, or clips cut on exact frames, with the audio kept or muted.

Q: Which videos can I edit?
A: Paste a TikTok link or drop an MP4 file.

## Limitations

- The video is whatever TikTok serves. TikTok re-encodes uploads, so the creator's original file is not recoverable.
- Pasting a link depends on TikTok access, which can break at any time. Dropping your own file always works.
- ./frames is an independent tool, not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by TikTok or ByteDance. You are responsible for having the rights to any video you edit and for following TikTok's terms.

## Privacy summary

- All editing happens in your browser. A file you drop, and every frame, trim and export, stays on your device.
- For pasted links, the server fetches the video from TikTok and sends it to your browser. It keeps a temporary copy for up to 24 hours, then deletes it. Videos are never published or shared.
- There are no accounts, ads or cookies. Browser storage holds your theme, editor settings, the video you are working on and a random anonymous ID.
- Anonymous usage analytics (pages viewed, actions, timings, error types, screen size class, referring site) are tied to that random ID, never to you. Video contents are never collected. IP addresses are used only for abuse limits and unique counts, stored as a one-day hash. Analytics are off if your browser sends Do Not Track. Events are deleted after 180 days.
