What image formats can be stitched into video?

PNG and JPG image sequences are fully supported. PNG is recommended for graphics and animation due to zero compression artifacts.

How does frame rate affect video playback length?

Video duration equals total image frames divided by FPS. For example, 120 images rendered at 30 FPS result in a 4-second video.

Does image sequence to video conversion run on a server?

No. All canvas rendering and video encoding happen locally inside your web browser using HTML5 Canvas and MediaRecorder APIs.

How to Convert Image Sequences into Video Online

Stitching individual PNG or JPG frames back into a smooth video file is a core requirement for 3D animation, stop-motion, time-lapse, and visual effects rendering. Here is how browser-based encoding works.

Understanding Image Sequence to Video Assembly

When 3D rendering engines like Blender, Cinema4D, or Unreal Engine produce animations, they typically output individual image files (e.g., frame_0001.png, frame_0002.png) rather than a single video file. This prevents corrupted video files if a render crashes mid-sequence.

To convert those individual images into a playable video file, an encoder reads each image frame by frame, draws it onto an off-screen canvas at a specified Frame Rate (FPS), and compresses the visual stream into a WebM or MP4 container.

Calculating Video Duration from Image Frame Count

The playback speed of your generated video depends on your selected Frame Rate (FPS):

Duration Formula

Duration (Seconds) = Total Frames / Frame Rate (FPS)

Example: 300 PNG images rendered at 30 FPS = 10.0 seconds of video playback.
