Thumbnail-ready stills
Skip the screen-record-and-crop workflow. Thumbs exports frames at the full resolution of your source video — ideal for YouTube thumbnails, social posts, or any time you need a sharp still from footage.
Frame-accurate scrubbing
The filmstrip magnifier shows you exactly where you are in the video. Drag to scrub, release to preview — you'll land on the right frame every time.
No accounts, no uploads
Thumbs works entirely on your device. Your videos stay in your library, your exported frames go straight to Photos, and nothing is ever sent to a server.
