Google Pixel 4 can export frames from video in Google Photos
July 10, 2025
Trying to capture the right moment can be a major challenge, although features like burst mode make things much easier. Google also has an alternative approach, as the newPixel 4series now lets you export frames from a recorded video.
The new feature — spotted by9to5Google— appears in theGoogle Photosedit menu as a large “export frame” button. The outlet reports that frames saved in this fashion are either saved at 1,920 x 1,080 (2MP) or 3,840 x 2,160 (8.2MP). We’ve also spotted the feature on our own Pixel 4 — check it out below.
Frames grabbed via this feature won’t receive the HDR+ treatment though, but there’s always Google’s Top Shot feature as well as a burst video mode via thePixel 4shutter key. In fact,9to5Googlenoted that when viewing a burst video clip in Google Photos, you’ll get an option to extract an HDR shot.
It’s not the first time we’ve seen the ability to capture frames from a recorded video either. The likes ofHTC,Samsung, andNokiaall offered this ability in years gone by, but it’s still a useful feature if the subject is proving difficult to capture.
Hopefully Google brings export frame functionality to Google Photos at large, as it would give this feature to loads of other devices that might not have a native option.
