About this Tool
Need the perfect thumbnail for your video? Our Video Thumbnail Extractor lets you capture a single frame from any video and save it as a high-quality image. Just tell it the exact moment you want to capture, and it will do the rest. It's the easiest way to create a custom thumbnail for your video uploads or to grab a still image from a recording. The entire process is fast, free, and done securely in your browser.
This tool works by seeking to the exact timestamp you provide within the video file. It then captures the video data for that single frame and renders it as a static image, which you can then download.

Frame extraction is the process of isolating a single static image from a sequence of images that make up a video. By seeking to a specific point in the video's timeline, a single frame can be captured and saved.
