Use a frame as a thumbnail

A thumbnail is usually a still frame that represents the video. This tool lets you choose the second to capture.

What happens to your file? It stays in this browser tab while the tool creates the output.

Best settings and limits

Best first try

Start with 0 seconds for the opening frame. Try later seconds if the first frame is blank or blurry.

When this may fail

The output is a PNG frame, not a resized thumbnail pack. Resize it later if a platform requires exact dimensions.

Privacy boundary

The selected video file stays on your device while the tool creates the output.
