What changes when you convert Y4M to JPG
- Y4M video is lossless and JPG image is lossy: the quality slider decides how much detail is traded for size, and output files are usually far smaller.
- Y4M video animation cannot be expressed in JPG image; the first frame is converted as a still image.
- This produces a still frame from the video — a poster grab, not a clip.
- JPG image encoding exposes a quality control; around 80 is the usual sweet spot.

- Add your Y4M file — drag it onto the page or choose it. It stays on your device.
