What video formats are supported?

What resolution will the thumbnail be?
The thumbnail is extracted at the full native resolution of your video — exactly as many pixels as the video frame itself, with no upscaling or downscaling applied.
Is my video private?
Yes — the tool uses the browser's built-in Canvas API. Your video file is not uploaded to Utilio servers for this tool.
What can I use video thumbnails for?
Common uses include creating cover images for video players, social media preview images, blog post illustrations, storyboards, and archiving memorable frames from home videos.
