It is also possible to view the video (possibly in full screen) and to directly target a specific time. Once the image is selected, you will be able to view it (possibly in full screen), to eventually crop it (keeping the most interesting part of it) and to export it (to PNG, JPEG or HEIC files) in different ways: • archive it in the camera roll of your iDevice • send it by email • retrieve it via iTunes file sharing (or the File app) • copy it (and thus paste it into other applications) • print it • open it directly in another application supporting image import. • and even send it as a tweet or to facebook !

Great job to the developers! *2026-07-29, version 6.2* I am blown away. This is the best app I have found. I have cameras on my bird feeders. I have snapped countless pictures of the birds that frequent them. I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to capture photos from video. I use it very frequently. It is my go to app to capture individual frames. They just updated it and the new features are fantastic. I am glad I found it. ### 5/5 — Phantasmagorical Deluxe *2026-07-27, version 6.2* Yee haw! ### 5/5 — Very useful...indispensable... *2026-07-26, version 6.2* 7/26/26. An excellent and often used app. I have benefited so much from this frame-capture and cropping features. It may have been 10 or 12 years since using this app. Helps me capture the best action shot in a video - when action is too fast or un predictable to capture a good photo, like a ballroom dancing image, I video it and go back to grab that nice image. I pass on this idea to others in recommending this app. Great for selecting iPhone Home Screen images. Or refining the cropped frame for my website. It has been part of what makes life easy and fun for me. I hope that you too will enjoy this. Thank you Developer(s)! 5/2/25. Continue to love this app. It is indispensable as a lay person. The app concept is great. You can extract pictures that are the best of that situation. This app becomes a part of a permanent resource. I’ve used this app for many many years and it is the best. Thank you for this app! ### 5/5 — Excellent *2026-07-24, version 6.2* I use this APP almost everyday. I couldn’t do without it. It allows me to extract frame with ease for a good picture.
