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.

Real PostCapture output — the YouTube thumbnail, title, channel, and video details 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 $8.33/month billed $100 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.
