FrameGrab — Save Any YouTube Frame as an Image
Grab any moment from a YouTube video as a clean image — instantly. FrameGrab adds a screenshot button to the player (plus a keyboard shortcut and a toolbar icon). One action saves the current frame as a PNG: full displayed quality, no watermark, no ads.

What it does
- One-click capture — a camera button sits in the YouTube player controls.
- Keyboard shortcut — press Alt+Shift+S to save without reaching for the mouse.
- Full quality, no watermark — you get the frame at the resolution it’s shown, nothing stamped on it.
- Smart filename — saved as video title + timestamp (e.g.
Never Gonna Give You Up_00-01-23.png). - Copy to clipboard — Alt+click the button to paste the frame straight into a chat or document.
How to use it
- Install FrameGrab and open any YouTube video.
- Pause on the moment you want (or don’t — it grabs the current frame either way).
- Click the button in the player, press Alt+Shift+S, or click the FrameGrab toolbar icon.
- The PNG downloads with a tidy filename. That’s it.
Private by design
FrameGrab does one thing and keeps out of your way. Everything happens locally in your browser: no account, no tracking, no data collection, no ads. It runs only on youtube.com. See the full privacy policy.
FAQ
Is it free? Yes — the core is free and complete, with no watermark and no limits.
Does it download the video? No. FrameGrab only saves a single still frame — the current picture on screen.
Which browsers? Chrome and Edge (Manifest V3).
Why isn’t the image as sharp as the source? The frame is saved at the resolution it’s displayed. Go fullscreen for the biggest, sharpest capture.
Looping a video instead of screenshotting it? Use the free YouTube looper or loop just a part.
