YouTube screenshot generator
Turn a YouTube link into an image
Paste any public YouTube link and get a styled, shareable screenshot — the video thumbnail with the title, channel, and supported details, ready for newsletters, decks, and social.
Start with 3 free screenshots. No card required. Free exports include a PostCapture watermark.
Real PostCapture export in the Lavender template. The thumbnail, title, channel and views stay in the frame.
Thumbnail plus the video details
PostCapture composes the screenshot from the official YouTube thumbnail and the video's details — not an arbitrary frame at a timestamp — so you know exactly what you'll get before you paste.

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 ($10/month, or $8/month billed $96 yearly) removes it and gives you 500 screenshots a month.
How many YouTube screenshots can I make for free?
Every new account starts with 3 free screenshots, one time, across all platforms, with no card required. Pro includes 500 screenshots every month.
