From video to cover in three steps

The original video remains untouched while you refine the moment and framing used for the exported image.

Step 1

Load

Choose an MP4, MOV or WebM file and let the browser inspect its timeline and display dimensions.

Step 2

Select

Move to the right moment, then adjust the crop so the subject sits correctly in the full cover.

Step 3

Export

Create a 420 × 654 JPEG or PNG and download it with a predictable cover filename.
