Tip #713

Grab a still frame from a video.

You can use the browser’s screenshot tool, to capture the content on web pages. But if that content is a point in a video, then saving a frame from it directly is faster and gives you a better result than trying to draw a frame around the capture area.

To save a frame from a video as an image file:

  1. Play the video and pause it at the point that you want to grab a screenshot of.
  2. Right-click (in some cases double right-click) on the video to open the context menu.
  3. Select “Save Video Frame As”.
    Alternatively, select “Copy Video Frame”.
  4. Select the saved file’s destination folder.
  5. Click ‘Save’.
Paused video player open in Vivaldi. Video's right-click context menu is open and the option "Save Frame as" is highlighted.
