FAQ
Video to PDF notes, explained.
How do I convert a video to PDF notes?
Upload a local MP4, MOV, AVI or MKV file on this page. FrameNotes extracts key screenshots and matches them with timestamped transcript text. When processing finishes, choose PDF in your results to download the notes.
Does the PDF include screenshots, timestamps and the full transcript?
Yes. The PDF contains selected screenshots with time ranges and matching transcript text, followed by a full transcript section. The number of screenshots depends on the visual changes in your recording. Automated transcripts can contain errors; review them against the source before quoting.
Should I download PDF or Word?
Choose PDF for a fixed page layout you can read, print, share or archive. Choose Word (DOCX) to edit the headings and transcript. Markdown is useful for note-taking apps and documentation; HTML lets you read the notes in a browser. These downloads come from the same conversion.
Is there a free video to PDF converter?
FrameNotes includes 3 free conversions each calendar month, with no sign-in required. Free conversions accept videos up to 30 minutes and 500 MB. Paid conversion packs and Pro subscriptions are available for more conversions; Pro supports videos up to 60 minutes with the same 500 MB upload limit.
Can my older FrameNotes notes be downloaded as PDF?
Yes, when the saved screenshots and transcript are still available. Open your existing results and choose PDF. If that note has no PDF yet, FrameNotes creates and saves it on the first download, without transcribing the video again or using another conversion. Later downloads reuse that saved PDF.
Can I convert a YouTube video to PDF notes?
This page accepts local video files. Save a video you own or have permission to use, then upload that file. Pasting a YouTube URL is not supported in this upload form.
Where does the PDF example come from?
The example uses the existing, publicly available FrameNotes case How Big is The Universe? Its saved screenshots and transcript were re-exported with the current PDF generator, without transcribing the video again. The automated transcript is preserved, including its original errors and repetitions.
