Description
Keep a clean still with one click: the camera button saves a PNG named after the clip and capture time. Screenshot YouTube video without controls when you need to keep a slide or a moment from a tutorial. A camera button sits beside the player's own tools and downloads the current still. The picture comes from the clip itself, so the progress bar and mouse cursor stay out of the result. There is no need to crop away the surrounding page. This YouTube screenshot extension works while watching or paused. It takes the visible scene without UI overlays from the surrounding player, leaving you with an image to put in your notes or instructions. 📸 WHAT YOU GET • Keep the loaded stream's pixel dimensions. Selecting a higher playback quality can give you a larger result; enlarging the viewing window alone does not add detail. • Find each download by its title and capture time. A name such as screenshot_Lecture_00-04-12.png identifies the moment at four minutes and twelve seconds. Unsupported filename characters are replaced automatically. • See confirmation inside the viewing area, including in fullscreen. Amber corner brackets flash and a short message displays the timecode. If nothing has loaded yet, a message asks you to try again. • Continue between clips without reloading the page. The added control appears again when you navigate to another watch page. 🔧 HOW IT WORKS 1. Open the recording you want to keep a still from. 2. Find the camera button near the bottom-right corner, beside the existing controls. 3. Play or pause at the moment you need, then click it. 4. Look in Downloads for the saved file. Repeat for another moment if needed. 💡 GOOD TO KNOW Can I capture a frame from a YouTube video at a timestamp? Seek to the second you want and pause before clicking. The tool captures what is currently loaded; it does not jump to a typed time or extract a batch automatically. Can I save a YouTube frame as PNG for a presentation? Yes. The output uses lossless encoding, though its detail still depends on the source quality. Respect creators' rights when reusing their work. 🔒 PRIVACY Capture happens on your computer, with no upload of the picture and no account required. Local storage remembers usage counts and your response to the optional rating prompt. Installation opens a welcome page; removal opens a feedback page. Those addresses include the installed version and interface language. YouTube™ is a trademark of Google LLC. This independent extension is not affiliated with or endorsed by Google LLC.
