Extract frames and make covers
The perfect frame of your video, as an image or as a cover with a title.
Your video stays on your device: nothing is uploaded“Original” saves the frame at the video's size. The other formats crop it into a cover: drag the preview to choose the part to keep. 9:16 is for Reels, TikTok and Shorts, 16:9 for YouTube thumbnails.
Move with the bar, then fine-tune one frame at a time with ◀ ▶ (or the ← → keys on your keyboard).
Your video stays on your device: frames are taken directly by your browser.
How to use it
A Reel cover or a YouTube thumbnail needs a sharp image of the right moment. A phone screenshot often gives a blurry frame with the player controls on top. Here you move through the video frame by frame, choose the format, add a title if you like and save the image at the video's full resolution. You can also collect several frames and download them all at once.
- Choose your video: it stays on your device.
- Find the right moment with the bar and the frame buttons; pick the format and, if you like, type a title.
- Press “Download this frame”, or add several frames to the collection and download them in the ZIP.
FAQ
Is my video uploaded to a server?
No. The video is read by your browser and the frames are saved straight to your device.
What quality are the images?
The same as the video: with “Original” the image has the exact size of the video. For a 9:16 cover from a horizontal video the central part is used, and you can move it by dragging.
Which videos can I use?
Any your browser can play: usually MP4, iPhone MOV and WebM. If a video won't open, your browser doesn't know its format: try another browser or re-export the video as MP4.
Can I use it as an Instagram or TikTok cover?
Yes: choose 9:16, save the image and upload it as the cover when you post the Reel or TikTok. For YouTube choose 16:9: it's saved at 1280 × 720, the recommended thumbnail size.
