A thumbnail is a single still frame pulled from a video, handy as a cover image or a quick preview. This grabs a frame, or several, from your video and saves them as images. Upload a video and you get the thumbnails back. Files are processed on the server and removed a short time later.

Good to know

The image is only as sharp as the frameA blurry or fast-moving moment makes a blurry still, so pick a steady frame for a clean image.
Choose the momentPick a time point that represents the clip; the very first frame is often black or a fade-in.
It's a still, not the videoYou get an image (JPG or PNG), not a playable clip. Use the convert or compress tool for the video itself.
