Capture a single still frame from a local video at any timestamp. The frame is drawn to an off-screen canvas and exported as PNG (lossless) or JPEG (smaller files).
When to use it
- Generate thumbnails for a video hub or CMS
- Grab a storyboard frame for design review
- Export a preview image for chat or documentation
How it works
The tool seeks the video to your chosen time in seconds, draws the current frame to a canvas at native resolution, and calls canvas.toBlob() with the selected image MIME type.
Example
At 2.5 s into a 1280×720 WebM clip, exporting PNG yields a 1280×720 still with the same aspect ratio as the source.
Limitations
- Only one frame per run; use Video to GIF for short animations
- Seek accuracy depends on browser keyframe spacing
- Files above 100 MB are rejected before processing
