Note: Browsers do not allow capturing frames directly from YouTube embedded videos (cross-origin). Use the buttons below to download official YouTube thumbnails. If you need an exact frame at a timestamp, download the video and upload it to the right panel (or provide a CORS-enabled MP4 URL), then capture a high-quality screenshot.
