Convert video to images with FFmpeg in Linux [Linux]

If you want to extract frames from a video fast and precise, there is no better tool than the command line utility ffmpeg.

If you prefer graphical tools, you can extract images with VLC player as I showed in this video.

If you are interested in making GIF animation, I suggest you watch these two videos:

To convert viedeo to png images you need to run this command:

ffmpeg -ss 00:10 -i video-filename.mp4 -t 00:03 images-filename_%03d.png

where
-ss defines the offset from the beginning of the video
-t specifies how long the fragment should be.
-i is to provide the input video file name.
%03d – indicated to use 3 digits number. For example, the output will be like this:
images-filename_001d.png
images-filename_002d.png
images-filename_003d.png
