Manual Screenshots Are a Chore

Capturing a single video frame shouldn't take five steps and a crop tool.

You have to pause at exactly the right frame

Miss by half a second and you are scrubbing back and forth trying to nail it.

OS screenshots capture the whole screen

Then you open an image editor just to crop out the browser chrome, controls, and taskbar.

The result is low quality

Screen captures compress your image. You lose detail that the actual video frame had at full resolution.

Everything You Need, Nothing You Don't

Four features. Clean interface. No bloat.

Capture Any Frame Instantly

A Snapshot button appears directly on the YouTube player. Hit it at any moment and the current frame is captured at the video's native resolution — no pause, no crop, no fuss.

Copy Directly to Clipboard

Need to paste the frame straight into a doc, chat, or presentation? Copy to Clipboard puts the image on your clipboard in one click — ready to paste anywhere without saving a file.

Copy to Clipboard
Paste into Docs, Slack, Notion...

Save as PNG

Download the frame as a lossless PNG file directly to your Downloads folder. Full resolution, no re-encoding, no quality loss. The file is named automatically with the video title and timestamp.
