Show HN: Free online tool to capture video stills

1 points by carusooneliner 3 years ago · 0 comments · 1 min read

There’s no signup needed and it’s completely free. The tool can handle video files of up to 2GB.

The web app is useful for a couple things:

* grab visuals from videos for an email, report, etc.

* for youtubers, it’s useful for video thumbnails. Grab a video still from your YouTube video and use it on your thumbnail. Gives prospective viewers a glimpse of what’s in the video.

To use the tool: open a video file, select a time in the video and capture a still image

I’m using the following building blocks for this web app:

* vuejs/nuxt

* materialize css

* ffmpeg

* font awesome

Glad to field questions on the tool and the building process.
