What people use it for
Thumbnail candidates, not one guess
A platform picks a thumbnail from a fixed point and usually lands mid-blink. Getting one frame per shot gives you every real option in the video at once, and you choose.
The exact frame, when no automatic one is right
Scrub to the moment and take it. Full resolution, straight from the file.
Preview images for a post, a page or a deck
Anywhere a video needs a still standing in for it, the still should be the best frame in the video rather than the first one.
Frequently asked
- Can I pick the exact frame?
- Yes. Start from the detected frames, then nudge to the precise moment you want before exporting.
- What quality is the thumbnail?
- Frames are extracted straight from your footage at full resolution.
- What resolution is the thumbnail?
- Whatever your video is. The frame is decoded from the source file, so a 4K video gives a 4K still.
- Can I get an exact frame rather than an automatic one?
- Yes. Open Advance Capture on any shot, scrub to the moment you want, and take that frame.
- Is there a watermark?
- No. Nothing is added to the frames and nothing is held back for a paid version, because there is no paid version.
