Frequently asked questions

How precisely can I pick the frame?

Scrub the video to the exact moment you want using the timeline, then capture — the tool grabs the frame currently showing in the preview.

JPG or PNG — which should I choose?

JPG gives a smaller file and is fine for most thumbnails; PNG is lossless and better if the frame contains sharp text or graphics you want to keep crisp.

Does this need the FFmpeg engine to load?

No, this tool reads the frame directly from the video element and a canvas, so it works instantly without downloading the larger video-processing engine.
