Image inputs can now use shared video frame extraction building blocks. When enabled, a video can be converted into a still image with a preview, loading state, and Use this frame or Cancel actions. Pressing Esc or clicking outside the modal cancels the action.The extraction supports both the first and last frame and validates the resulting JPEG before it is used as an image input.

Use Video Frames in Image-to-Video Inputs

You can now drop or select a video for either image input in the dashboard and free image-to-video tools. A confirmation modal previews the extracted frame before adding it to your form.The start image defaults to the video’s last frame, while the end image defaults to the first frame. Canceling, pressing Esc, or clicking outside the modal leaves your form unchanged. Existing image uploads continue to work as before.Try it out now:

Video frame extraction is now available across additional image inputs in both free tools and dashboard tools. Upload a video where an image is expected, preview the extracted still, and confirm it before using it in your generation.By default, image inputs use the last frame of a video. In image-to-video end-image inputs, the first frame is used instead.
