Supports: 3GP, 3G2
Pull a sharp still image out of an old CDMA-phone clip. 3G2 (3GPP2) is the low-resolution mobile container your camera saved a decade ago; this tool grabs a frame at the exact moment you pick and saves it as WebP — a single still image, not an animation, and typically smaller on disk than the same frame as PNG or JPEG. Files are uploaded over an encrypted connection, processed on our servers, and deleted automatically a few hours after conversion. No sign-up, no watermark.

|---|---|---|
| Type | Video container | Still image (this tool) |
| Defined by | 3GPP2 (CDMA2000), introduced ~2004 | Google, 2010 |
| Built on | ISO/IEC 14496-12 (ISO base media / MP4) | VP8/VP8L coding |
| Video/image codecs | H.263, MPEG-4 Part 2, H.264/AVC | Lossy and lossless |
| Transparency | n/a (video) | Yes (alpha channel) |
| Typical size vs JPEG/PNG | — | Lossy WebP 25–34% smaller than JPEG; lossless ~26% smaller than PNG |
| Best for | Legacy CDMA-phone clips | Web-ready stills and thumbnails |
A still image. The default Specific Frame mode captures one frame at the timestamp you enter and saves it as a single, non-animated WebP. If you choose Multiple Screenshots, you get a set of individual still WebP images — one per captured frame — rather than one looping animation.
Use the Specific Frame time input and enter the timestamp in seconds with millisecond precision. For example, 2.100 is 2 seconds and 100 milliseconds into the video. This is more precise than scrubbing a player, which makes it easy to land on a clean, non-blurry frame.
For a photo-like frame from a phone clip, leave Lossless? set to No — lossy WebP gives you a much smaller file at quality that's hard to tell apart from the source, and Google measures lossy WebP at 25–34% smaller than a comparable JPEG. In our testing, a frame pulled from a typical low-resolution 3G2 clip lands as a single WebP of only a few kilobytes at the Very High preset. Switch Lossless to Yes only when you need a pixel-exact copy, such as a frame with flat graphics or text.
3G2 was designed for early CDMA phones to save storage and bandwidth, so the original video is usually low-resolution to begin with. The extracted WebP can only be as sharp as the source frame — converting to WebP keeps that detail and shrinks the file, but it cannot add resolution that the phone never recorded.
Use our 3G2 to MP4 converter to repackage the entire clip into a modern, widely-playable MP4. The 3G2-to-WebP tool here is for pulling one frame (or a sequence of stills); MP4 keeps the full motion and audio. If you already have a still PNG you want to shrink instead, the PNG to WebP converter handles that directly.
