Overview
With Video Screenshot, capture photos from video, creating high-resolution youtube screenshots and screencap video to image.
Video Screenshot saves the frame you are watching as a sharp picture in the video's own resolution. A 1080p video gives you a 1920 × 1080 image, a 4K video gives 3840 × 2160, with no watermark and nothing uploaded anywhere. It works on YouTube and on any website that plays HTML5 video: course platforms, news sites, Vimeo, Twitch, social feeds and videos embedded in articles. Pause on the moment you need, click once, and the image is in your Downloads folder or on the clipboard. 📸 Four ways to take a frame 1️⃣ The camera button in the YouTube player, right next to Settings. 2️⃣ The toolbar icon, which opens the side panel with a big Capture frame button. 3️⃣ The keyboard shortcut Alt+Shift+S, on any tab with a video. 4️⃣ Right-click a video and choose Save this video frame as an image. 🎞️ Find the exact moment The side panel shows the video of the current tab with its size and time. Step one frame back or forward, jump 5 seconds, play or pause, and capture when the picture is just right. This is handy for slides in a lecture, a chart in a webinar, a scene for a review or a still for a thumbnail. 🖼️ PNG, JPG or WebP ▸ PNG keeps every pixel, ideal for text, code and slides. ▸ JPG and WebP make smaller files, with a quality slider. ▸ Copy to the clipboard and paste straight into a chat, a document or an image editor. ▸ The file name is the video title plus the time of the frame, so your pictures stay organized. 🗂️ A gallery of your frames Every capture also lands in the side panel. Copy, save or delete a frame later, or save all of them at once as a ZIP. The gallery keeps the last 100 frames on your computer only. ✅ When a site is tricky Some sites do not let pages read the video picture. In that case the extension takes the frame from the screen, inside the borders of the video, and tells you the image has screen resolution. Fullscreen works too. Copy-protected streaming services such as Netflix block screenshots in every browser, and the extension says so instead of saving a black picture. 💡 Who uses it • Students who keep slides and diagrams from recorded lectures. • Creators who need a clean frame for a thumbnail, a post or a storyboard. • Teachers and trainers who build handouts from tutorials. • Support teams and testers who document what happened in a recording. ❓ Questions Is the picture really full resolution? Yes. The frame is drawn from the video itself, so a 4K video gives a 4K image. Set the player to its highest quality first. Does it work outside YouTube? Yes, on any site with a regular HTML5 player. On YouTube it works right away; on other sites click the icon, press the shortcut or right-click the video. In the panel you can allow all sites once, so it sees videos on every tab. Where do the files go? To the usual Chrome Downloads folder. The shortcut can be changed in chrome://extensions/shortcuts. 🔒 Privacy Frames never leave your computer. There is no account, no server and no tracking inside the extension. It is free. Install Video Screenshot and save your next frame in one click.
