How to take a still image from a video file?

Taking a still image from a video file is an easy task. But, some starter computer users may not know the trick. There are so many softwares and ways to do that. I am here in this blog to let you remind some tips and tricks in an easy manner. So we are about to take a still image from a video file.


We can do this task easily using VLC Media Player. By default, it is not available. To enable the feature, go to 'Tool's menu and make a Tick mark on 'Advanced controls' by clicking on it.


You can see that two more controls are added in the bottom control panel of the VLC Player. To take a image from video file, open the file in VLC Media Player and pause at the frame you want to export as a still photo.



Click on the last button (Looks like a camera) in the control panel and that's all. Go to Pictures / My Pictures in the computer and you will get the image there.

Want to change the output folder? Go to 'Preferences' from 'Tools' Menu and go to 'Video' tab. Choose a destination folder there and now onwards you will get the images there. 


If you found it simple, recommend this blog to your friends.
