How does Video Snapshot work?
Binds video element frames to an HTML5 canvas at the video's natural width and height, exporting uncompressed image data via canvas.toDataURL without cloud processing.
100% private: all processing happens locally in your browser using client-side WebAssembly, WebCrypto, WebAudio, and HTML5 Canvas. Your files are never uploaded to any server.
