How to extract a frame from a video

1. Drop your video in. Choose or drag an MP4, MOV or WebM — it loads in your browser and is never uploaded.
2. Scrub to the frame. Move the video to the exact moment you want, pick JPG or PNG, and click Capture this frame.
3. Download. The still image saves straight to your device at the video's full resolution.

Why grab a still from a video

A single frame is often the most useful thing in a whole clip: a thumbnail for a video, a clean photo from footage you shot, a slide or diagram from a screen recording, or a reference shot to send someone. Rather than screenshotting your screen — which captures whatever scale the player happens to be at — pulling the frame directly gives you the video's true, full-resolution image with nothing cropped or compressed by the window.

Because it runs in your browser, the video is never uploaded, which matters when the footage is personal, unreleased or sensitive. You get the exact frame at native quality without handing the file to a server.

Getting the sharpest frame

The image can only be as good as the source — a still is a single video frame, so a low-resolution or heavily compressed video yields a soft image, and fast motion can leave blur baked into the frame. For the cleanest result, pause on a steady moment rather than mid-action. Choose PNG when the frame is full of text, UI or sharp edges (slides, screen recordings, diagrams) so nothing is softened by compression; choose JPG for photographic frames you want to keep small and shareable.
