Get Screenshots from any YouTube Video

Official YouTube screenshots are pictures taken straight from a YouTube video. Think of them as special photos provided by the video's creator, not just any picture you might snap yourself on a computer screen. These official pictures are used to show off the video. Sometimes they're big and clear, like for a newspaper story. Other times, they're tiny preview pictures (called thumbnails) that help you quickly see what a video is about, like when you're searching on YouTube. They're "official" because they come directly from the video's source.

Capturing screenshots from any specific moment in a YouTube video used to be tricky without special tools. A website called youtube-screenshot.com made this easy, letting you grab screenshots from any frame.

However, the service that allowed you to take screenshots from any video frame has been suspended. This happened because the website didn't generate enough money from ads to pay for the necessary service it relied on and keep this feature running.

The good news is that youtube-screenshot.com still provides all the official screenshots for a video.

If you'd like to see the "screenshot from any frame" service come back, you can help! Users can make donations through "Buy Me a Coffee" platform. Your support can help bring back this useful feature.
