If you shoot a lot of video, the best moment often gets buried.
Scrubbing long clips, stopping on the right frame, and comparing multiple options takes more time than it should.
KeeperTake is an iPhone app for turning video moments into photos—faster and with less back-and-forth.
It works well for everyday videos (family, travel, pets) and also for content/marketing workflows where you need usable stills.

Two ways to get a photo from a video on iPhone
There are two common approaches:
Take a screenshot (quick)
Export the video frame as a photo (more consistent results)
If you only need one image, screenshots can be fine.
But for quality and workflow—especially when you want to compare candidates—exporting frames is usually better.
Why screenshots often disappoint
Screenshots are convenient, but you may run into:
landing slightly before/after the perfect moment
subtle blur that ruins the shot
inconsistent results depending on the screen state
messy comparison when you save many candidates
Export video frames as photos
KeeperTake exports video frames as photos, so you can keep only the moments you want—cleanly and consistently.
Note: Results depend on the source video quality, compression, and shooting conditions.
AI Picks: start from candidates, then you decide
A key feature is AI Picks, which surfaces candidate moments so you don’t start from zero.
AI Picks shows likely candidates first
you save promising frames to Keeps
you fine-tune and choose the final frame manually
This reduces the time spent hunting through the entire video.
Note: AI Picks suggests candidates. Final selection is always yours.
Keeps: shortlist and compare
Often, there isn’t just one best frame.
Keeps lets you save candidates while browsing, then compare them calmly and decide.
Lifetime Pro (one-time purchase)
KeeperTake is free to try. Pro is a one-time purchase (no subscription).
Pro helps most when videos are long and candidates pile up:
Focus Scan: regenerate candidates within a range you care about
Remove the total Keeps limit
Batch save selected frames from Keeps
Export options for your use case
Privacy: comfortable for sensitive footage
Family videos, unreleased clips, or client materials can feel sensitive.
KeeperTake is designed so sharing happens only when you choose to share.
The app doesn’t upload your media by itself.
Wrap-up
If your goal is to extract photos from video on iPhone, KeeperTake streamlines the process:
find candidates → keep options → compare → export.
KeeperTake is planned to launch in February 2026.
After release, try it for free and see how quickly you can pull a usable still from your videos.
(Available to download after release.)
