Trevor Nace swaps video screenshots for full-resolution stills
His quick iOS 27 tutorial shows where to find "Save Video Frame as Photo," without bringing the screen's black bars along.
Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 230,534 views a day, 79 times a normal first day on this channel (2,903).
STOP Taking Screenshots - Do This Instead!
A screenshot saves what's on your screen, not necessarily all the detail in the video you're watching. Trevor Nace's latest tutorial makes that distinction visible, then shows the menu option that gets around it.
"STOP Taking Screenshots - Do This Instead!" reached roughly 190,000 views in its first 16 hours, far beyond the usual start for his short tutorials. For a channel whose other uploads that day tackled missing verification codes and deleted call history, this is a simpler proposition: keep a moment from a video without sacrificing its resolution.
Nace demonstrates it in the Photos app on an iPhone running iOS 27. He selects a video, scrubs to the moment he wants and pauses. In the upper-right three-dot menu, he chooses "Save Video Frame as Photo." The resulting image goes into the photo library.
His example more than doubles the pixel count compared with the screenshot. Opening the saved image's information panel makes the difference concrete: this is the video frame itself, rather than a capture of the display around it.
The distinction also comes up in the comments, where one viewer points out that this isn't a higher-resolution screenshot. Another offers a small navigation tip: pause first, then scrub to the exact frame so playback doesn't carry you past it.

You can pause first and then scrub to the frame that way the video doesn't play once you're on the right frame
@frescoisonlineSee it on YouTubeYeah, it suggested i do the other day, great feature. Better to know this way than awkwardly screenshotting and having the phone tell you after the fact. Appreciate your videos.
