Grab Frame from Video Clips Grab Frame from Video Clips is an iOS app for iPhone that grabs a frame from a video. Use this app to extract a still photo from a clip and save it as JPG, PNG, or HEIC at the video's own resolution. It is for anyone who has a video in Photos and needs that moment as a normal picture, without uploading the footage. What this app does This iOS app extracts still photos from video. Share a video from Photos, scrub to the moment, grab one frame or many, and save them like any other photo. The still comes from the video file itself, not from a screenshot of the player. The problem: The moment you need is inside a clip. A screenshot of a video on iPhone captures the screen — player controls, black bars, and a smaller image than the original frame. The solution: Grab Frame from Video Clips is an on-device frame grabber. Share a video from Photos and the app opens on that clip. Drag along the filmstrip, grab the frame, and export it. No account, no upload, and no timeline editing. How to grab a frame from a video on iPhone 1. Share a video from Photos — Open the clip, tap Share, and pick Grab Frame from Video Clips, or choose a video in the app. 2. Scrub frame by frame — Drag along the filmstrip to the exact moment and watch the preview. 3. Grab one still or many — Grab the frame, repeat for every moment you want, and keep the ones you need. 4. Export and share — Choose JPG, PNG, or HEIC. Save as images, a ZIP, or a PDF — to Photos, Files, or the share sheet. What Grab Frame from Video Clips does • Extract a frame from a video — Pull a still from the file at the video's resolution, not a screenshot. • Grab the exact moment — Scrub the filmstrip and stop on the frame you want. • Save a frame as a photo — Export a still to Photos or Files without changing the original clip. • Extract multiple frames from one video — Grab a sequence in one pass and export them together. • Convert video frames to JPG, PNG, or HEIC — Choose a format for sharing or editing. • Export as images, ZIP, or PDF — Separate files, one archive, or a PDF for storyboards and notes. • Work fully offline — Videos stay on your iPhone.
