# FrameCraft

FrameCraft is a posting-oriented extraction and conversion tool for extracting still images and converting media into animation formats (GIF/WebP).

It is mainly designed for the following two workflows.

| Purpose | Input | Output |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Extract still images | Videos / animation formats (GIF/WebP) | JPG / PNG |
| Convert to animation | Videos / animation formats (GIF/WebP) / JPG or PNG sequences | Animation formats (GIF/WebP) |

By combining crop, black-bar removal, duplicate image removal, and site-specific optimization, you can create still images and animations for social media and posting sites.

## Key Features

### Extract Still Images

- Extract JPG / PNG from videos and animation formats
- Supports frame intervals, time intervals, and final-frame-only output

### Convert to Animation Formats (GIF/WebP)

- Create animation formats (GIF/WebP) from videos, animation formats (GIF/WebP), and image sequences
