Supports: DIVX
This tool grabs one still frame out of a DivX video and saves it as a TIF — a lossless raster format built for archiving, print, and precision editing rather than the web. It does not re-encode the clip; you pick a single moment and get one image. TIF wraps that frame losslessly, preserving exactly what the DivX decoder reconstructed, which is what you want when the still is headed for a print shop, an archive, or an editor where every pixel matters.

Files are uploaded over an encrypted connection, processed on our servers, and deleted automatically a few hours after conversion — no sign-up, no watermark, never shared or made public.3.5 grabs the frame at 3.5 seconds. That single frame becomes your TIF.| Property | TIF | JPG | PNG |
|---|---|---|---|
| Compression | Lossless (None / LZW / Deflate / PackBits) | Lossy (DCT) | Lossless (Deflate) |
| Bit depth per channel | 1, 8, or 16 | 8 only | 8 or 16 |
| Color models | RGB, CMYK, grayscale | YCbCr (RGB on export) | RGB / grayscale + alpha |
| Typical file size (SD frame) | Large | Smallest | Medium |
| Browser preview | No — Safari only, download to view | Yes, universal | Yes, universal |
| Print / archival use | Yes — libraries and museums standardize on it | No | Web-oriented |
| Best for | Archive, print, precision editing | Sharing small photographic stills | Web/UI graphics, sharp text, alpha |
No — and this is the honest catch. TIF is a lossless wrapper, so it stores the extracted frame without adding any further compression loss on top of what the DivX codec already did. But DivX is a brand of MPEG-4 Part 2 compression from the early-2000s DVD-rip era, typically standard definition (commonly around 640×480 or 720×480/576) with period compression artifacts and TV-range color. TIF preserves those pixels exactly; it cannot restore detail the original lossy DivX encode discarded. You get a faithful, re-editable copy of an SD-era still — not an upscaled or sharpened one.
LZW and Deflate (ZIP) are both lossless — their decoded pixels are identical to uncompressed — and they shrink a typical 8-bit frame by roughly 30–50% while staying readable in essentially every TIFF app (Photoshop, Affinity Photo, GIMP, ImageMagick, Preview). Deflate usually packs a little tighter; LZW encodes a little faster. Pick None (uncompressed) only when you need maximum compatibility with older software that chokes on compressed TIFF, or for an absolute-safest archival master.
No — this tool writes one image per file. The TIFF format itself can hold several images in a single file, but here switching to Multiple Screenshots mode returns each sampled frame as its own .tif, delivered together as a ZIP — not a single multi-page TIFF. If you want a few stills from across a clip, that mode samples at the interval you set; if you want one exact moment, stay on Specific Frame. (.tif and .tiff are the same format — the DivX to TIFF converter outputs the four-letter spelling.)
That is expected: TIF is not a web format. MDN lists it among image types to avoid for web content, and Safari is the only major browser that renders it natively. For anything you plan to post, share, or email, extract the frame to DivX to JPG for a small universal still, or DivX to PNG for a lossless web-friendly one. Keep TIF for the print shop, the archive, or the editor. If you actually want the whole moving clip in a modern format rather than one frozen frame, use DivX to MP4 instead.
In our testing, a 640×480 DivX frame saved as uncompressed 8-bit RGB TIF landed near 1 MB (matching the raw pixel math, 640 × 480 × 3 bytes ≈ 0.92 MB), dropping to roughly 0.5–0.7 MB with LZW or Deflate at zero quality loss. Larger 720×576 PAL rips run proportionally bigger. Because most DivX files are feature-length and can reach a gigabyte or more, the practical limit on the source is upload size and time — trim the section you need first with Video Cutter, then grab the frame.
Your DivX file is uploaded over an encrypted (TLS) connection, processed on our servers, and the files are deleted automatically a few hours after conversion. There is no sign-up, no watermark on the output, and your files are never shared or made public. The frame is captured at the video's native resolution, and you can scale it down with the Resolution Percentage or Width x Height controls before downloading.
