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.

Extract a frame from video on iPhone with KeeperTake—AI Picks helps you find the best moment fast.


Two ways to get a photo from a video on iPhone


There are two common approaches:


  1. Take a screenshot (quick)

  2. 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.)
