google chrome now lets you copy video stills for easy sharing

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.

Flowwow, a UAE-based gifting marketplace that partners with local shops in more than 30 countries, has introduced a refreshed brand identity, built by merging artificial intelligence with human creativity. The rebranding includes a redesigned logo, AI-driven visuals, and upgraded packaging, reflecting the company’s evolving position in the gifting sector.

Flowwow’s CEO and Co-founder, Slava Bogdan, explained: “From our roots as a flower delivery service, Flowwow has evolved into a marketplace for gifts and emotions in over 30 countries. [Our] strategic vision has become the cornerstone of our rebranding. Flowwow remains the platform that blends the best of both worlds: the personal touch of local entrepreneurs and the convenience of cutting-edge technology. We’ve redefined the gifting experience, making it effortless, enjoyable, and truly personal”.

The company has utilized AI to break away from conventional design limitations, resulting in a more dynamic and engaging brand presence. By leveraging Midjourney’s neural networks, Flowwow generated thousands of images to assist designers in ideating the new identity, accelerating the creative process by up to 20%.

As part of its rebranding, Flowwow aims to expand into a full-service global gifting platform, offering both innovation and convenience. Recognizing the potential of e-gifting in the MENA region, Flowwow is planning to onboard additional local vendors while expanding product lines to over 25 categories to suit regional preferences, including pastries, indoor plants, fragrances, hamper boxes, and home decor.

The company is also committed to supporting local businesses, working with SMEs to drive economic growth in the MENA region’s burgeoning e-commerce sector. Research indicates that the UAE’s gifting market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 14.7% through 2029, while the overall e-commerce market will rise by 8.63% annually, reaching $10.56 billion by the same year.

Flowwow aims to capitalize on this growth by expanding further into the MENA region and further afield by 2024-2025.
