About this tool

Better than a screenshot

A screenshot captures the video at the size it appears on screen, including the player bar and anything else around it. This tool extracts the frame directly from the file at its original resolution: a Full HD video produces a 1920×1080-pixel image, without borders or controls. Vertically recorded videos stay vertical.

Great for a video thumbnail, a photo of a moment captured only in the video, documenting a scene for a report, or an image to make a meme.

PNG, JPG, or WEBP?

PNG saves the frame without quality loss—ideal for editing later. JPG creates a much smaller file for sharing or posting. WEBP is even smaller for websites. You can then crop the image or compress it. Your video never leaves your device.

Frequently asked questions

How can I take a photo from a video without losing quality?

Pause the video at the moment you want, click Use current time, choose PNG, and click Save frame. The image is extracted from the file at its original resolution, without the quality loss of a screen capture.

Why is the image from a slightly earlier or later moment than I selected?

A video has a fixed number of frames per second, so the tool captures the frame displayed at that moment. Adjust the time in tenths of a second (e.g., 0:12.4) to find the exact frame.

Does it work with vertically recorded phone videos?

Yes. The video's orientation is preserved: vertical videos produce vertical images with the same width and height as the video.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. This tool runs entirely in your browser: your file is read and processed on your device, and not a single byte is sent over the internet. You can even disconnect from the internet after the page loads.

Is it really free? Is there a daily limit?

It's free with no daily limits. Processing happens on your device, so there's no per-use cost and no need to limit you.

Does it work on phones?

Yes. The site works in any modern browser on Android, iPhone, Windows, Mac, and Linux—no installation needed.
