Video thumbnail grabber: common questions
What size is the saved image?
The same size as the video. A 1920 × 1080 video gives a 1920 × 1080 image, so it won't look any sharper than the paused video does.
PNG or JPG?
JPG is much smaller and suits most thumbnails. PNG keeps every pixel, which helps with screen recordings that contain small text.
Why does my frame look slightly different from what I paused on?
Browsers can land a fraction of a second away when you drag the timeline. Press play and pause again, or use the arrow keys on the player, to settle on the exact frame.
