Video Frame Extractor

Pick a frame from your video, crop it to 16:9 and download a thumbnail. Your video stays in your browser.

Choose a video or try the sample to get started.

MP4, WebM or MOV up to 1 GB. Playback depends on the browser’s codec support.

Extract a video frame and turn it into a cover

  1. Choose a local video or try the Lighting Study sample. The original video stays in your browser.
  2. Scrub to a clear frame and use the 0.1-second controls to refine it. A sharp face, gesture or object usually reads more clearly at thumbnail size.
  3. Capture the frame and adjust its 16:9 crop. Download the PNG or continue in Studio to add a title and compare up to three cover directions.

Which video files can I open?

The tool accepts MP4, MOV and WebM files up to 1 GB. The browser must support the codec inside the file. If playback fails, try an H.264 MP4.

Can I choose the exact moment?

Pause the video, use the timeline and fine controls, and capture the currently displayed frame. Preview the still before downloading.

Which image sizes can I export?

Choose 640 × 360, 1280 × 720 or 1920 × 1080. Check the actual PNG size and the upload requirements for your device before publishing.
