A clear path from video to cover image.

Private by design.

Your selected video is decoded in your browser. The file is not uploaded to this site.

Choose the exact frame.

Move the scrubber and export that visible frame as a JPEG image.

Keep the source intact.

The ZIP includes your original MP4, MOV, or WebM file without changing its format, duration, or resolution.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I import this into iPhone Photos as a native Live Photo?
Unzip the downloaded pack in the iOS Files app. Select both IMG_LIVE.JPG and IMG_LIVE.MOV, tap the Share icon, and tap "Save to Photos". iOS automatically links both files into a single native Live Photo via the embedded Apple ContentIdentifier metadata!
Are my videos uploaded?
No. Your selected video is processed in your browser. The page loads ordinary website assets and may use aggregate analytics, but it does not upload your media file.
Which files can I use?
Try an MP4, MOV, or WebM video under 100 MB. The browser decodes the clip locally, attaches matching Apple ContentIdentifier UUIDs to the JPEG and QuickTime tracks, and packages them into an iOS-ready bundle.

MOV Video Cover Frame Extractor

MOV is a container, not a promise that every browser can decode the video inside it. If your MOV plays here, you can pick a precise still frame and download cover.jpg alongside your original .mov file.

The export does not rewrite your QuickTime movie. In particular, it does not add the Live Photo content identifier required to pair the movie with the still image. A MOV extension alone does not make the files a native iPhone Live Photo.

If the preview stays blank or reports a decoding error, create a browser-playable H.264 MP4 copy in another editor and use that copy for frame selection. Keep your source MOV safe; this site does not upload or modify it.

Format notes

The exported video keeps its source format. A filename change does not convert WebM or MP4 into QuickTime MOV, and a JPEG alone does not create the metadata needed for an iPhone Live Photo.
