Hold a frame still
A freeze frame means inserting a still at a chosen moment, and this page’s engine can only move forward through time. The full editor has freeze frames — this page takes you there with your file.

Freezing means the clip stops, one frame holds for a couple of seconds, then it carries on. Something has to be inserted in the middle of the timeline.
The engine behind these tools walks forward through the source and writes what it reads. It cannot stop and insert something that was not there.
The full editor has a freeze-frame action: park the playhead, press it, and a still of that frame is inserted at whatever length you set.
FAQ
Can I just export the frame as an image?
Yes — the "video cover" tool grabs any frame as a PNG. That is a picture, not a pause inside the video.
How long can the freeze be?
Whatever you set in the editor. A second or two is the usual choice.
What happens to the sound during a freeze?
In the editor the audio keeps running or pauses with the picture, whichever you choose.
Can I freeze the last frame to hold on an ending?
Yes, that is one of the most common uses, and the editor handles it the same way.
Does the editor cost anything?
No. Same terms as the rest of the site.
