How to Extract a Thumbnail from Video
The perfect video thumbnail can make the difference between a click and a scroll-past. Instead of taking low-quality screenshots, use our tool to extract a full-resolution frame from your video. Pick the exact moment that best represents your content, and download it as a crisp, high-quality PNG ready to upload as your thumbnail.
Better Thumbnails, Better Engagement
YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, LinkedIn, and other platforms all benefit from sharp, eye-catching thumbnails.

The PNG format gives you a clean starting point for adding text or branding overlays.
