Free Video Thumbnail Extractor

Drop your MP4, MOV or WebM video on this page, then play it or drag the Timestamp slider to the moment you want. Click Capture Frame and download the still as a JPG or PNG. It's free, with no account and no watermark.

Choose PNG. The frame is saved at the video's own resolution and PNG is lossless, so the still is as sharp as the video. JPG at the default 92% looks close and is usually smaller. Blur that is already in the video stays in the frame.

The same as the video. A 1080p video gives a 1920 × 1080 image and a 4K video gives 3840 × 2160. The Resolution box in the settings shows the size before you capture. There is no resize option, so use the Image Resizer afterwards for a smaller picture.

Usually, yes. A screenshot copies your screen, so it is limited to the player's size on screen and can catch the controls or the cursor. Capture Frame takes the picture from the video itself at full resolution, with nothing drawn on top.

Close to it. The Timestamp slider moves in 0.01-second steps, which is finer than one frame of a 30 fps video, so a few small moves may show the same frame. There are no next-frame buttons, and the time readout shows whole seconds.

Yes, one click at a time. Each Capture Frame click adds the current frame to a grid below the player, with no limit. Download All saves them as one ZIP, named by frame number and second. There is no option to export every frame or one frame per second automatically.

The uploader takes MP4, MOV, WebM and AVI files, one at a time. The video must also play in your browser: MP4 (H.264) and WebM play almost everywhere, but AVI and some iPhone HEVC MOV files may not. Convert those to MP4 with the Video Converter first.

Your browser may not be able to decode that video, so there is no picture to capture and no timeline appears. AVI files and some HEVC videos are the usual suspects. Convert the file to MP4 with the Video Converter, then add it again.

Only if you have the video file itself. This page opens files from your phone or computer, not web pages, so open your saved copy of the Short or Reel here. Then drag the slider to the moment you want and capture it as your cover.

Pick JPG for photos and thumbnails you plan to upload, since the file is smaller; its quality slider runs from 10% to 100% and starts at 92%. Pick PNG for screen recordings with text, or for more editing. Choose the format before you click Capture Frame.

It should work in a phone browser. Add a video from your gallery or files, then use the same Timestamp slider and Capture Frame button. The saved image goes wherever your browser keeps downloads.

No. The video is read from your device and every still is drawn inside your browser tab, with no engine or model to download. The page does send usage stats, like the chosen format, JPG quality and a rough size range, but never the video, its frames or the file name.
