    This feature comes in very handy if you want to create the perfect thumbnail for a video, or to add some effects to your website, and why not, to set them as your background image.

    However, there is no simple way to do this with accuracy, or is it? Users of Windows 10, can rest assured that they will be able to capture pictures from videos by using some of the steps written below.

    How can I capture pictures and photos from videos?

    1. Use a third-party video editor

    The most obvious choice when it comes to extracting content out of a video is through the use of a video editor since you are essentially interested in a particular frame from it.

    That being said, no video editor is better for the job than Adobe’s very own Premiere Pro, an industry standard in the world of video editors.

    Since it is used by both common users and within the movie industry to create Hollywood-level content, we highly recommend it for any video editing purposes.

    The interface is simplistic, following the traditional timeline-based arrangement, so even casual users will know how to get around this app.

    More so, the program comes with all the tools one may ever need in order to edit a video, including extracting a single frame from it and using it as a screenshot.

    Take a picture from any of your videos with industry-leading software when it comes to video editing.

    2. Use your video player

    Most video players nowadays come with a few video editing tools themselves, most of which are used to adjust the image of the video as you are watching it.

    Curiously enough, the ability to capture a certain frame at any given time from within a video is a trait that is quite common.

    In some video players such as VLC, all you need to do is right-click the image while the video is playing, and simply select an option that usually looks like Capture frame.

    Of course, not all video players are the same, but you can easily find a similar option if you look for a bit.

    3. Use a screen-recording tool or take a screenshot

  • Play your video on any video player.
  • Pause it at the moment you want to take a screenshot.
  • Press PrtSc.
  • Alternatively, press any key that you bound your screenshot function to.
  • If all options fail for some reason, a screen recorder is your next best solution and it can be used in almost any video player you may have already installed on your PC.

    By following these steps, you should be able to capture a photo or image of any video and use it for whatever purpose you see fit.
