Upload a video to extract thumbnail
Extract thumbnails from video.
The Video Thumbnail Extractor allows users to capture high-quality still images (thumbnails) from any point within a video file. This is particularly useful for creating preview images for video content, generating custom social media assets, or simply extracting memorable frames without needing to play through the entire video or use complex editing software.
Video files are composed of a sequence of individual frames. This tool leverages browser APIs (like the HTML5 `video` element and Canvas) to load the video, seek to a specific timestamp, and then draw that precise video frame onto a hidden canvas element. The content of this canvas is then converted into an image file (e.g., PNG), which can be downloaded by the user. All processing occurs client-side, ensuring user privacy and fast extraction.
Upload your video, pause it at the frame you want to capture, and click the 'Extract' button. This tool will generate a high-quality PNG thumbnail for you to download.
Yes, you can select from various thumbnail sizes before extracting the image to fit your needs.
Absolutely. The tool is free to use, and all processing happens in your browser. Your videos are never uploaded to our servers.
