How it works
- Drop or select a video — it stays on your device the whole time.
- Enter the timestamp (MM:SS) for the frame you want to capture.
- Click Extract thumbnail — ffmpeg.wasm grabs the frame in your browser.
- Your thumbnail downloads automatically as a JPG, and a preview appears inline.
Frequently asked questions
- Is my video uploaded anywhere?
- No. The frame is extracted entirely inside your browser using ffmpeg.wasm. Your video file never leaves your device.
- What formats are supported?
- Any video format your browser can pass to ffmpeg.wasm — MP4, WebM, MOV, MKV and AVI all work well.
- What if the timestamp is beyond the video length?
- ffmpeg will attempt to seek to that position and may output a blank or the last frame. Enter a time within the video duration for best results.
- What format is the output thumbnail?
- The thumbnail is saved as a high-quality JPEG (quality setting 2, which is near-lossless on the ffmpeg scale).
- Is it free?
- Yes — extracting video thumbnails is completely free with no sign-up, watermarks or limits.
