Moving contact sheets
from any video file.

ClipGrid is a focused Windows app that turns your video files into thumbnail-grid contact-sheet videos — each source laid out as a grid of thumbnails playing across its own timeline. Pick a template, drag in your footage, and let the queue render. No cloud round-trip, no watermark, no nonsense.

Output duration
Target-Driven

Set a target duration in seconds. ClipGrid solves for the optimal grid size and output dimensions automatically — or lock in your own grid via a custom template.

Output formats
MJPEG · H.264 · HEVC · AV1

Output codec and container are template-controlled. Royalty-free Motion-JPEG (AVI) ships by default; H.264, HEVC, and AV1 are opt-in per template.

Usability
Set and Forget

Leave the target duration on dynamic and ClipGrid sizes each output to fit your display at an optimal length. Or lock in your own dimensions and duration with a custom template.

A faithful browser preview of the contact-sheet format ClipGrid produces. Frame extraction and grid assembly run entirely in your browser — nothing leaves your machine.

What's in the app

Six things ClipGrid does well.

01

Fully Offline

Nothing to download or set up — ClipGrid works the moment it launches. Every frame is decoded, composited, and encoded on your own PC.

02

Template System

Save named settings presets — grid size, output format, codec, timestamp style, colors — and apply them to any job with one click. Make it once, reuse it everywhere.

03

Batch Processing

Drag-and-drop from File Explorer or right-click "Open with ClipGrid" to fill the queue. Track live per-job progress, phase, and ETA; set per-job priority (Low → Critical); and retry, cancel, or remove any job.

04

GPU Powered Processing

Optional NVIDIA CUDA acceleration speeds up rendering on compatible hardware — and ClipGrid falls back to the CPU cleanly when no GPU is present.

05

Local. Period.

No accounts, no upload, no telemetry — your footage never leaves your disk, and settings, templates, and logs stay local under %APPDATA%\ClipGrid. Your license lives on your Microsoft account.

06

Native Engine

ClipGrid runs on a purpose-built native C++ engine that extracts evenly-spaced frames, composites them into a contact-sheet grid, and encodes the result — with NVIDIA CUDA (NVDEC/NVENC) acceleration when NVIDIA hardware is present.

Buyer questions

Things people ask before paying.

Where can I buy it?
At launch, ClipGrid is sold exclusively through the Microsoft Store. Direct purchases and other storefronts may come later — for now, the Store handles billing, install, and updates.
Is it really one-time?
Yes — one purchase, no subscription.
Mac or Linux?
Not yet, but I'm optimistic.
What about my Premiere / Final Cut export?
H.264, HEVC, ProRes, VP9, and most common production codecs all work — ClipGrid reads 21 formats in all. H.264/HEVC source is decoded by Windows' built-in decoders; HEVC also needs Microsoft's free HEVC Video Extensions, which ClipGrid links you to if they're missing.
What's the output, exactly?
A contact-sheet video — one clip that lays your source out as a grid of thumbnails playing across its timeline. It's royalty-free Motion-JPEG (AVI) by default; H.264, HEVC, and AV1 are opt-in per template.
Trial?
The demo above is a faithful preview of the contact-sheet format ClipGrid produces. If the grid looks right on your footage, the desktop app will produce the same output — at full resolution, with your grid settings, and GPU-accelerated if you have NVIDIA hardware.
