The frame you want.
As a picture.
Scrub to any moment in an MP4 or MOV and grab that frame at full resolution — PNG or JPG, straight to your device, nothing uploaded.
How do I save a still frame from a video? Load the MP4 or MOV, pause and scrub to the moment, then press Grab PNG (or JPG). You get the frame at the video's native resolution — a 1080p video gives a 1920×1080 image — saved instantly and entirely on your device.

PNG keeps every pixel losslessly; JPG (quality 92%) is smaller for sharing. The last grabbed frame previews below the stats.
Why grab a frame at all?
Video is awkward when you need a single moment: a thumbnail for the upload, a poster image for a website, a screenshot of a scene for a review or a report, or a still to print. Screenshotting the player usually gives you the player UI, the wrong resolution, or a compressed mess — grabbing the frame directly gives you a clean, full-resolution image.
Getting the shot you want
- Pause, then scrub — the frame you see is the frame you get; the slider moves in tenths of a second
- PNG vs JPG — PNG is lossless (best for text and graphics); JPG at quality 92% is much smaller (best for photos and thumbnails)
- Orientation is handled — rotated phone videos come out upright, at display resolution
- Mild motion blur is normal — you're capturing a video frame, not taking a photo; pick a moment where the subject is still
What people use it for
YouTube and blog thumbnails from your own footage. Poster frames for video players. Stills for documentation and tutorials. Reference shots for drawing or 3D work. And the reverse of the video to GIF tool: one frame instead of a hundred. If the frame has faces you'd rather not publish, clean it up with the photo face blur — and if you need to shrink the video first, the video compressor is right there.
How do I extract a frame from a video?
Load the MP4 or MOV, scrub to the moment you want, and press Grab PNG or Grab JPG. The frame is captured at the video's full resolution and saved to your device. Nothing is uploaded.
Is the extracted frame full quality?
Yes — the frame is captured at the video's native resolution with its display orientation applied, not a screenshot of the preview. A 1920×1080 video gives you a 1920×1080 image.
How do I get an exact frame?
Pause and scrub with the slider to land on the moment, then grab. The captured frame is the one shown at the current position — close enough for thumbnails, posters, and reference shots. For frame-exact video analysis you would use a frame-by-frame player.
What can I use an extracted frame for?
YouTube thumbnails, video poster images, scene screenshots for documents and reviews, printing a still, or making an image from your own footage. If the frame contains people you want to protect, run it through the photo face blur tool afterwards.
Which formats are supported?
Input: MP4, MOV, and M4V (H.264 or HEVC). Output: PNG (lossless, larger) or JPG (smaller, quality 92%). Rotated phone videos come out in the correct orientation.
