How it works

1

Drop a video in and scrub the built-in player frame-by-frame to the exact moment you want.

2

Choose PNG for a lossless capture or JPG for a smaller file, then grab the frame straight from the decoded video.

3

Download the still image at the video's full source resolution — no scaling, no re-compression.

When you'd use this

  • You want a clean thumbnail image pulled directly from a moment in your video.
  • You need a reference still from a scene without the quality loss of a regular screenshot.
  • You're documenting a bug or moment in a recording and need an exact frame, not an approximate screen grab.

Frequently asked questions

What resolution is the exported image?

The video's full source resolution — the capture isn't scaled down or up.

PNG or JPG — which should I pick?

PNG for a lossless, larger file (best for further editing); JPG for a smaller, still high-quality file (best for quick sharing).

Does this need to process the whole video?

No — it only reads the single frame you're viewing, so it's near-instant regardless of the video's length.

Can I grab multiple frames?

Yes — scrub and capture as many times as you like in one session, each capture is downloaded separately.

Why does a regular screenshot look worse than this?

A screenshot captures your display's rendering of the video — often scaled down and sometimes recompressed — while this reads the actual source pixels straight from the file, at the video's true resolution.
