Thumbnails
Extract crisp still frames from any video as a downloadable zip.
The Thumbnails tool grabs still frames from a video. Ask for one frame or several; frames are spaced across the video and delivered together as a single zip file.
Open it at https://openclip.app/tools/thumbnails, or press Cmd-K and type "thumbnail" or "frames".
Options
The tool has one operation, Extract frames, with two settings:
| Option | Choices | Default |
|---|---|---|
| How many frames | 1, 3, 5, or 10 frames (any number from 1 to 10) | 1 frame |
| Size | Large (1920px), Medium (1280px), Small (640px), or a custom width | 1280 |
Size is the output width in pixels; height follows the video's aspect ratio. Size sits under the advanced options, so a default run just asks how many frames you want.
Output
Every run outputs a zip file containing the extracted frames, even a single-frame run. Unzip it to get the images.
Extracting frames
- Open the tool page.
- Upload a video, or pick one from your Library.
- Choose how many frames you want. Open advanced options if you need a different size.
- Run, then download the zip when the job completes.
Picking a good source moment
The tool spaces frames across the video for you; you do not pick timestamps. If you need a frame from one exact moment, trim the video to a short range around that moment first with Edit video, then extract a single frame from the trimmed result.
Watermarks and limits
Frames are visual output, so free-plan results carry a watermark. Paid plans remove it. Runs count against your daily quota (10 on free, 500 on paid), and inputs follow your plan's caps: 200 MB and 10 minutes on free, 2 GB and 6 hours on paid. See Tools overview.
