Questions

Frequently asked questions

Should I use JPG or PNG?

JPG is usually smaller for camera footage. PNG avoids image compression artifacts and can be much larger.

Can I take several frames?

The tool writes one frame per run. Change the time and run it again for another image.

Does the image keep the video size?

Yes. The frame uses the source video's pixel dimensions.

Is my video uploaded?

No. It stays on your device while the browser reads the selected frame.

Background

A still image from one precise moment

Enter the time of the moment you want, choose JPG or PNG, and save one full-size frame. The video is not uploaded or changed.

  • A frame is the full picture stored at one point in a video timeline.
  • JPG suits photographic footage; PNG is useful when you want lossless pixels or sharp interface graphics.
