FAQ
Why does this tool use Canvas?
For single-frame capture, the browser video element and Canvas API are faster and lighter than loading FFmpeg.
What if the video will not preview?
The browser may not support the source codec. Convert it to MP4 first, then generate a thumbnail.
Is my video uploaded to a server?
No. This tool processes your files locally in your browser. BeYourTools does not upload, store, or send your media to a processing API.
