Specially designed for UHD 4K, 5K, 8K videos!
Drag & drop your movie, preCut Lite will extract EACH video frame and save them into images at the highest possible resolution.
Still, using a snapshot or screen-capture to obtain a single frame image of a movie? Tired of fast-forwarding, rewinding, and rewinding some more, but still cannot find the best frame you want? Then, preCut is just the app you need.
No other apps can capture more pixels or squeeze out hidden data than it does. You will get images in the largest dimensions and highest quality that you can grab from the movie you love WITHOUT dropping frames.
