How it works

What happens to your file.

The video is opened at the selected time, that frame is rendered, and the still image is exported in the chosen image format.

Where it stops: A thumbnail is only as sharp as the video frame at that timestamp. Motion blur or compression artifacts in the source remain visible.

Common questions.

Can I choose the exact time?

Yes. Pick the timestamp that contains the frame you want.

Will it be high resolution?

It matches the video frame resolution unless you resize afterward.

Can I make several thumbnails?

Run the tool again at different timestamps, or split frames with a dedicated workflow.
