How it works

How to extract a frame from a video on iPhone

Four steps, about a minute, nothing to learn.

  1. Share a video from Photos

    Open the clip in Photos, tap Share and pick the app in the share sheet — or open the app and choose a video. It opens straight into frame-grab mode.

  2. Scrub and grab

    Drag along the filmstrip to the exact moment and tap Grab This Frame. Repeat for every moment you want to keep.

  3. Keep only the best

    Preview your grabbed frames full screen, zoom in to check sharpness, and delete the misses.

  4. Export and share

    Choose JPEG, PNG or HEIC, then save as separate images, one ZIP archive or a PDF — and share them anywhere.

FAQ

Video to photo on iPhone: FAQ

How do I get a picture from a video on iPhone?

On iOS 27 and later, pause the video in Photos, tap ••• and choose Save Video Frame as Photo to save that one frame. For older iOS, or to grab many frames at once and export JPG, PNG, HEIC, ZIP or PDF, use Video To Photo – Grab Frame.
