What Is a Thumbnail Extractor?
A thumbnail extractor captures a single frame from a video and saves it as a still image, useful for custom video thumbnails, preview images, or cover graphics. VdoSaver's extractor works on MP4, MOV, AVI, MKV, and WebM files up to 500 MB, entirely in your browser.
How It Works
Drop your video file into the tool (MP4, MOV, AVI, MKV, WebM — up to 500 MB).
Scrub through the video to find the exact moment you want to capture.
Click to capture — happens locally in your browser. Download the frame as an HD JPEG.
Features
No tricks, no traps — no server involved at all.
Scrub to the precise moment you want, rather than an auto-generated preview frame.
Grab a still sharp enough to use as an actual thumbnail or cover image.
Frame extraction happens in your browser on your device — your video is never uploaded.
MP4, MOV, AVI, MKV, and WebM input, up to 500 MB, clean JPEG output.
Your extracted image comes out clean — nothing added, ever.
Grab as many frames from the same video as you want, no limit.
Extract a thumbnail from your phone's browser — no app required.
No account, no premium tier, no credit card.
Common Use Cases
For YouTube, a blog, or a video library — instead of a bad auto-generated frame.

For social posts that link to a video.
Pull a still from a video source for a slide deck.
