The screenshot quality will be based on the video playback quality. Which means you can download Ultra HD photo right away!

For Firefox users, you can try the Youtube Screenshot Button add-on that very similar. Meanwhile for Edge users can opt-in for Turn Off the Lights extension — it also comes with a handy screenshot option.


If you wish to not use any browser extension, some screenshot options like the PrintScreen button, Snipping Tool, and Screen Snip can do the work too. But then again, the extension method is way more convenient and fast.
