Extract Image from Video
The quickest route to one picture from a clip: load the file, type the timestamp, capture. Useful for making your own thumbnails instead of accepting whatever a platform picks for you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need FFmpeg for this?
No. The browser decodes the video and the canvas captures the frame, which is why this works on ordinary web hosting with no server-side processing.
Why is my mobile recording rejected?
Phones often record HEVC/H.265 .mov files, which desktop browsers usually cannot decode. Convert the clip to MP4 (H.264) or WebM first.
