MOV files (QuickTime movies) can carry attached pictures — most often the cover art of the video. This page extracts those attachments and lets you download them as image files.

How to extract the attachments

  1. Upload a MOV file (up to 80 MB).
  2. Press Extract attachments.
  3. Download the cover picture from the result page.

What you get

A single image file (cover.png) holding the picture that was embedded in the MOV. If the embedded picture is a JPEG, the bytes are copied out unchanged (the file is served with the matching image type).

Limits

  • One input MOV, up to 80 MB.
  • The extracted image can be up to 8 MB.
  • A MOV with no attached picture has nothing to extract, so the run reports a failure instead of inventing an output.
