Questions, answered
What does PostCapture capture from a YouTube video?
PostCapture uses the video's thumbnail inside a styled screenshot and adds metadata such as the title, channel/author, and supported video details. It does not grab an arbitrary frame at a specific timestamp.
Can I capture a frame at a specific timestamp?
No. PostCapture composes the image from the official YouTube thumbnail and video details rather than extracting a frame from a chosen moment in the video.
Does it work with any YouTube link?
It works with public YouTube videos. Paste a standard youtube.com or youtu.be link and PostCapture builds the styled screenshot from the video's thumbnail and details.
Is there a watermark?
Free exports include a small PostCapture watermark. Pro ($5/month, or $2.50/month billed $30 yearly) removes it and gives you 500 screenshots a month.
How many YouTube screenshots can I make for free?
The free plan includes 5 screenshots every month across all platforms, with no card required.
