03

Choose capture mode and time

Select Capture Mode after importing, then use Capture Time to choose the moment. The example uses Single at 00:00 without a timestamp.

Single exports one frame

Drag the time slider, inspect the preview, and tap Export Image on a clear frame. The image contains the video picture, rather than app controls or the phone frame.

Batch*, Smart*, and Sheet*

Batch, Smart, and Sheet are VIP entries for batch capture, smart frame selection, and preview sheets. Open the relevant mode to see its settings.

Add Timestamp

This adds a time marker. Leave it off for a clean image, or turn it on to identify the source moment and check its position and readability after export.

Preview and save the image

Tap Export Image to open Screenshot Preview. Check the frame, dimensions, and file size, then use Save to Photos or Share File. Done closes the preview.

Dimensions come from the video

The source is 640×338 and the exported image shows the same dimensions. A larger phone screen cannot add detail to the source frame.

Troubleshooting

The frame looks blurry

Try a moment with less motion and inspect the original quality. Frame capture cannot repair existing blur.

Frequently asked questions

Can it capture several frames at once?

Batch* captures multiple frames and requires VIP. Use Single to choose and export one frame.

How is this different from a phone screenshot?

Video Capture exports a video frame, here a 640×338 JPEG. A phone screenshot can also include playback controls and system UI.
