Getting the exact frame

  1. Drag the slider close to the moment, or type a time such as 1:02.5.
  2. Use ‹ Frame and Frame › to move one frame at a time; ±10 jumps further.
  3. Grab as many frames as you like and download the best one.

PNG or JPG?

PNG is lossless and best for screenshots with text or for further editing. JPG is much smaller and fine for thumbnails and sharing.

Want the frame in another shape, such as a 16:9 thumbnail from a vertical video? Work out the crop with the Aspect Ratio Calculator.

Frequently asked questions

How do I save a frame from a video as an image?

Choose the video, move to the moment you want with the slider or by typing a time such as 1:02.5, fine-tune with the frame buttons, then select “Grab this frame” and download the PNG or JPG.

Is the image full resolution?

Yes. The frame is saved at the video’s own resolution, for example 1920×1080 for a 1080p video. PNG keeps every pixel; JPG is several times smaller with little visible difference.

Why does frame stepping need a frame rate?

Browsers do not report a video’s frame rate. The tool steps by the rate you choose (30 fps by default). If you are not sure, the Video Codec & Format Checker shows the declared frame rate.

Which videos work?

Any video your browser can play: MP4 with H.264 almost everywhere, WebM, and usually HEVC and AV1 on current Windows browsers. If a file will not open, check its codec with the Video Codec & Format Checker.

Is my video uploaded?

No. The video plays from your device inside the browser, and frames are created and saved on your device.
