Apple Intelligence is now available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac!
I'm posting this because most of the answers are old and for photos v6. In Big Sur Photos v7. To export a frame get to the frame you want to export then in the menu for Photos >> File >> Export >> Export Frame to Picture. The open Finder and go to the Pictures folder and you will find your frame grab. It's in TIFF format
Really nice find! Your method is working in Photos 7 in Monterey as well. It would have helped, if Apple had mentioned it in the "What is new" section of the Photos User Guide to give us a hint, where the feature has been moved to.
I now found it in the section Export photos, videos, and slideshows from Photos on Mac - Apple Support of the Photos user guide, the paragraph "Export a video frame as a photo":
You can review a video clip to identify an outstanding frame and export it as a photo into the Pictures folder.
on your Mac, open a video clip, and drag the playhead to the frame you want to export.I can no longer test on Big Sur. Could you please just clarify, if you have been testing on Monterey or Big Sur? It would help the Big Sur users to know, if this feature has been available in Photos 6 on Big Sur all along and we never found it.
No worries People will pick it up from your reply here.
Fantastic news - a feature many have been asking to return. Thanks for letting us know.
Do you mean Monterey?
Photos 6 is with Big Sur
Photos 7 is with Monterey
Oh boy, you are right. I was looking at a lot of different replies before posting. I wonder if I can just delete this thread and start over
I've checked Big Sur and it isn't there.
I was testing on Monterey. I no longer have Big Sur on anything.
