What this tool does

Grab a still from a video
Pulls single frames out as still images — a thumbnail, a poster, the one moment worth keeping. The video itself is only read.

When you need this

  • The best photo of a moment is actually a frame in the middle of a video.
  • A thumbnail for an uploaded video should come from the clip itself.

Frequently asked questions

What files can I use here?

Reads MP4, MOV, M4V and WebM. One file at a time.

What do I get back?

You get PNG · JPG.

Does the file lose quality?

Your file is read, not changed. The original stays exactly as it was.

When does it not work?

Which video codecs work depends on your browser. Chrome and Edge read the most, including H.265 on many machines; Safari and Firefox refuse some. A file that will not open here usually opens in Chrome.

Does the video lose quality?

Only when it has to be re-encoded. Cutting, joining and removing the sound track copy the picture data unchanged, so those are lossless. Compressing and adding a watermark do re-encode, which is why they take longer.

How long may a video be?

There is no fixed limit. What decides is the memory of your device: a phone manages a few minutes comfortably, a computer handles far more. If a long video fails, splitting it first and working on the parts usually helps.
