A workspace beside every video
A side panel opens next to YouTube and follows the video you are watching. Your frames appear in it the moment you capture them, so you never pause to switch apps.

Features
Everything you need to learn from video
Frame2PDF sits next to YouTube, keeps up while you watch, and turns a long video into notes you can search, revise and share.
Notes and labels on every frame
Type a note under any frame while the video plays, and label it Important, Exam, Revisit or Understood. Filter by label later to revise just what matters.
ImportantExamRevisitUnderstood
Back to the exact moment
Every frame keeps its timestamp. Click it in the panel to jump the video there, or in your PDF and notes to open YouTube at that second.

Export to PDF, Notion, Obsidian or Markdown
Download a printable PDF with each note under its frame, or a Markdown note with images that imports into Notion and drops straight into an Obsidian vault.

Private by default
Captures and notes are stored in your browser, not on our servers, until you choose to export or save them to your library.
A cloud library for every lecture
On Pro, save PDFs and their notes to a private library you can open on any device, organise into notebooks, and share with a link when you choose.
Each PDF stays private until you create a share link.
