Frame Grabber
Sometimes the best photo is hiding between two frames of a video. Frame Grabber lets you move through it one frame at a time, then save the one you want without player controls getting in the way.
Photo & Video
01Move through a video one frame at a time
02Save as JPEG, HEIF, or PNG
03Works with videos and Live Photos
04Processes everything on your iPhone
Why it helps
A better option than taking a screenshot.
A screenshot only captures what's on the screen, including its size and anything layered over it. Frame Grabber reads the frame from the original video instead, so you get a separate image that's ready to keep or share.
Choose a useful format
Use JPEG when you want broad compatibility, HEIF for a smaller file, or PNG for lossless output.
Keep the original details
When the source includes them, you can carry over the date and location. The video itself isn't changed.
How it works
From video to photo in three steps.
Choose a video
Open a video or Live Photo from your library. It doesn't need to be uploaded anywhere.
Find the frame
Use the timeline to get close, then move one frame at a time to make the final choice.
Save the photo
Pick a file format and quality, then save the image to Photos or share it with another app.
