Video Thumbnail Extractor

Capture one frame from a supported video at a time you choose. Set a maximum output width to keep the image manageable. Processing stays on your device; the source file is not uploaded.

.mp4, .m4v, .mov, .webm, .mkv, .avi, .flv, .mpeg, .mpg, .wmv ยท Up to 100 MB per file

    First use may take a little longer while the conversion tool loads. Your files stay on your device. Short clips work best; processing stops after ten minutes. Unsupported codecs, protected files, or insufficient memory can prevent conversion. Bitrate applies to lossy audio outputs; WAV and FLAC use lossless encoding. Extra tracks, subtitles and metadata are not preserved.

    1. Choose a supported video file.
    2. Enter the frame time in seconds and optional maximum width.
    3. Extract the PNG frame on your device.
    4. Preview and download the image.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Clear answers regarding conversion, privacy, and technical capabilities.

    Does this upload my video?

    No. The video is processed locally in your browser and is not sent to a conversion server.

    What happens if the time is past the end of the video?

    No frame can be extracted at that time. Choose a timestamp within the video duration and try again.

    Does the width setting enlarge small frames?

    No. The width is a maximum; smaller source frames stay at their original size and the aspect ratio is preserved.

    How large a video can I use?

    Inputs are limited to 100 MB and processing stops after ten minutes. Available device memory and codec support affect practical limits.
