Google Chrome Now Lets You Copy Video Stills For Easy Sharing
The “Copy Video Frame” feature will create better-quality images.
Google Chrome now makes capturing video stills easier than ever after a new feature was added to the popular web browser.
The company acknowledged the struggle users previously faced when trying to capture video stills, noting that screenshots often produced low-quality images with the video progress bar shown at the bottom.
Today, those issues are gone, and for users of any Chromium-based browser (Such as Chrome, Microsoft Edge, or Brave), capturing high-quality stills is as simple as hitting pause, right-clicking, and selecting the “Copy Video Frame” option from the menu.
After trying the new feature ourselves, we noticed that it does have a few issues. For example, you’ll need to right-click twice on YouTube to access the menu: One click will bring up YouTube’s own menu, while the second click reveals the correct Chrome menu with the “Copy Video Frame” option.
Once a user copies a video still, they can paste it directly into another app, such as Google Docs or Apple Notes, for example.

Right now, there’s no option to save a copied video frame directly to your desktop as a standalone file. The feature is also limited when used on videos from streaming services, with many sites restricting the ability to capture their content. So far, we’ve had the best luck using “Copy Video Frame” on YouTube, which is no surprise given that Google’s parent company, Alphabet, owns the video-streaming giant.
The “Copy Video Frame” feature is available now on all desktop platforms that can run Google Chrome, including MacOS, Windows, Linux, and ChromeOS.

Influencer Growth Fuels Saudi Creator Economy Surge
The Kingdom’s creator economy grew over 32% in Q1 2025, fueled by TikTok, UGC, and cost-per-action (CPA) influencer models.
Saudi Arabia’s creator economy saw a significant 32.37% growth in the first quarter of 2025, driven by an uptick in influencer marketing, content-driven e-commerce, and the increasing influence of user-generated content (UGC). These insights come from a recent study by Admitad and the Stllr Network.
Much of this momentum is coming from video-based platforms, where brands are leaning on creators who feel more relatable than polished ad campaigns. The trend shows a clear preference for authenticity, as audiences gravitate toward content that feels real and personal.
Mohannad Alzahrani, Co-founder and VP KSA of Stllr Network, highlighted the shift: “The rise of user-generated content (UGC) is changing the way brands engage with consumers. Audiences trust real creators more than traditional advertising, making UGC a key driver of authenticity and sales”.
TikTok remains the dominant platform in this space, reportedly reaching 88% of the Saudi population. It also showed the sharpest rise in influencer-led transactions. Other platforms followed with solid, if less dramatic, growth: X was up 17%, Instagram increased by 12%, and Telegram by 10%.
In terms of content niches, beauty led the pack with a 56% growth rate, followed by lifestyle at 45.8% and fashion at 18.2%. Tech content also showed healthy traction at 10.6%, while entertainment, food, fitness, parenting, and gaming posted smaller — but still positive — gains.

The report analyzed more than 300,000 influencer-driven purchases. These efforts translated into a 15% year-on-year jump in Gross Merchandise Value (GMV) and a 5% increase in the number of orders in 2024. Influencers themselves are seeing the benefit, with average order values hitting $54 and creator earnings rising by 14%.
A noticeable trend is the move away from fixed-rate deals. More influencers in Saudi Arabia are embracing hybrid compensation models — especially cost-per-action (CPA) setups that tie their earnings directly to performance.
As Anna Gidirim, CEO of Admitad, explains, “The CPA model brings much-needed transparency to influencer marketing. Brands only pay for actual results, and influencers benefit by securing long-term partnerships while offering their audiences exclusive promo codes and special discounts”.
However, the ecosystem still shows a gender imbalance. The data indicates that 63% of creators in Saudi Arabia are men, while women account for just 37%.
