Video screenshots
Video stills without screen-capture clutter
Operating-system screenshot tools record the pixels currently displayed on screen. That can include controls and can limit the image to the player size. FramesFromVideo draws the video frame itself to an export canvas.
You can capture one manually selected moment or enter several timestamps for a reproducible screenshot set. Choose original dimensions when source resolution matters or reduce width for lighter documentation images.

Compatibility
Screenshot quality factors
The exported still is based on the decoded video frame rather than the displayed player box.
Video compression
Existing blocking, blur, or noise remains visible.
HDR footage
Browser tone mapping and Canvas export may not preserve HDR metadata.
Color appearance
The browser rendering pipeline can differ from professional editing software.
Best results

FAQ
Questions about video screenshots
Will playback controls appear in the image?
No. The export comes from the video frame itself.
Can I preserve the video resolution?
Yes. Choose Original size.
Can I take several screenshots?

Why does the color look different?
Browser decoding and Canvas export may handle color differently from an editor.
Is this a screen recorder?
No. It exports still images from a local video.
