Seconds to Frames Calculator

About This Calculator

The Seconds to Frames Calculator converts time in seconds into total frames based on a given frame rate (fps). It's widely used in video editing, animation, motion design, and audio/video synchronization tasks where precise frame mapping is needed.

How It Works

  1. Enter the duration in seconds.
  2. Select a frame rate from the dropdown or input a custom frame rate manually.
  3. The calculator multiplies seconds × fps to compute the total number of frames.
  4. The result is rounded to the nearest whole frame and displayed.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the formula used?

Total Frames = Duration (s) × Frame Rate (fps)

What frame rates can I use?

You can use standard frame rates like 24, 25, 30, 60, or enter custom values like 23.976 or 29.97.

Will the result be an integer?

Yes. The result is rounded to the nearest whole frame for practical use in editing software.

Is this tool accurate for film and broadcast?

Yes. For non-integer fps like 29.97, you can enter the exact value to ensure frame-accurate results.

Can I convert fractional seconds?

Absolutely. The calculator accepts decimal seconds and multiplies them precisely.
