Take a Snapshot of a Video Clip in Filmora (Windows)

Most often, you'll want to save a single frame from a video as an image, such as for a thumbnail, reference image, or still picture. Filmora's Snapshot feature lets you capture the current frame from the preview window and save it without exporting the whole video.

In the Snapshot window, you can choose the Snapshot Format, select the Save To location, and use Set the snapshot as thumbnail if you want that frame to represent the project. The Remember My Choice option keeps the same snapshot settings for next time. To take a snapshot in Filmora, follow the steps below:

How to Take a Snapshot in Filmora

Step 2. Choose the Snapshot Format and Other Settings

Select your preferred Snapshot Format and choose the Save To location. Enable the Set the snapshot as thumbnail option if you want, and click OK.
