## Questions & answers

### Can I grab a thumbnail at a specific moment, not just keyframes?

Yes. Scrub the timeline to the exact moment you want and the extracted frame is captured at that timestamp.

### Will the thumbnail be lower resolution than the source video?

No. Thumbnails are exported at the full source resolution; what the video is recorded at is what you get.

### Will my video get uploaded anywhere?

No. Frame extraction runs in your browser, your video never leaves your device, and we keep nothing.

### How do I pick the best YouTube thumbnail?

Use batch mode to pull 10 evenly-spaced frames in one go, then pick the most compelling one for your thumbnail.
