StillShot can help you create high quality photos from any video on your iPhone.
StillShot can be found useful when objects are on the move and it is hard to catch the moment or when a video was already taken instead of a still photo.
With StillShot users can create a full resolution photo from video files by loading the video and analyzing the frames one by one, letting the user to choose the best frame. The app can extract frames from any video, with no special requirements. StillShot holds the original resolution of the video, e.g., on iPhone 4s the resolution is 1080p (1920*1080px).
StillShot is very easy to use and requires no technical knowledge.

StillShot was made by the same team that made GroupShot iPhone app.

Found some unwanted critters hidden in our app. We've evicted them in this new release.
We went on a deep sea fishing trip and I took video on an iPhone when catching the fish. When we got home I wanted to get pictures from the videos. This app was awesome! I was able to capture the fish in midair during a flip and was able to capture bringing the fish over the rail. These were amazing shots that I would not have without this app! The pictures look awesome printed since it uses the same resolution the video was shot in. I did have an issue with it loading a few of the videos (would crash and close the app) but I just resent the videos to my phone and resaved them and then it was able to process. Super happy!!! Will be using this again and recommending to friends.
Lunatic and Swan Studios,
did not work for me at all, nothing loads
The app simply does not work for me. Ninety nine percent of the frames for any video will not load. The scrubber bar at the bottom of the screen did not load the video images for reference points on half of the videos I uploaded. Basically I can whip around a lot of blank frames to about ten or twenty totally random frames, which I can save to my camera roll quickly, but I have very little control over which frames will load for viewing and which will not. Also there is a glitch that it does not always save the exact frame you are trying to capture, for instance, I saved a frame in which my eyes were open, and a second later it showed that it had captured the frame where my eyes were closed. Basically this was a waste of a dollar. Very sad. I need something that does what this app promises to, and I really wanted it to work well. Giving it a two just because I think if it worked like it promised, it would be cool. But it does not.

FOR HARD TO GET SHOTS
My kids are always so active that getting the perfect shot seems next to impossible and my wife hates how many photos I take to get the right shot. There's only so many times you can tell the family to smile and look at the camera before the smiles become forced and then the photo moment is gone forever. Still Shot removes the headache from capturing the perfect moment. I take one video and choose any number from the frame-by-frame later. My wife is happy that it no longer takes a long time to take a good photo and my kids are off to play again. Now, instead of capturing one perfect moment, I capture them all. - Ben
NGatcomb,
Awesome app!!!
I give this a 5 star!!! It is so much fun being able to get the best picture from a video!! That is when u actually get the best picture of someone when they r not posing n it's natural, u get so many extra beautiful images from this!! Another great thing about it is video taping a lightning storm it is so hard to get a picture of bolt lightning! But if u video it u will get the lightning in the video and then get the actual picture of the lightning bolt hitting the ground or whatever it hits!! Lightning pics in B&W r beautiful matted pictures!! All they need to do now is add some frames to it or other gadgets u could use with this App!! Love it so much! You will also!!!
Wickedwings,
Terrific!
I had really wanted a way to get still shots from videos & this app really allows me to do that! Sometimes, it's near impossible to take pictures when you're engaged in an activity or the activity is in motion. I'm so thrilled to be able to have this Still Shot app. There is one thing I'd like improved on. I wish to be able to zoom in one the image I'm examining, as it's quite small & the images can look so similar to each other that zooming in can show differences in the images that are in movement. I hope that made sense. Thank you! I really needed this app! :D

Wow
Take a video, then choose the frame you want. Anyone taking a group photo knows how difficult it can be to time that perfect shot. Now, just take a short video and choose from any frame shot. The video frames are multiple per second. faster than iphone can snap a picture. Plus, you may want to choose a few different shots. Easy to do with this app. Wonderful!
Momwhotakesbadpics,
Best thing ever!
I NEVER catch my kids at the right time for pic. By the time the pic's taken, I have a shot of the back of their head where in my mind I still see the beautiful smile of the pic I was trying to take. But no more. With still shot, I have found that I can take a movie and pick the exact frame I want. I can't tell you how happy I am not to miss the perfect pic anymore!!! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!!
kickformoney,
Works great for my purpose.
I use this app to see messages that scroll too fast to see on the screens in our shop. Typically there's no such thing as logging on such old equipment, but with this app, I can see exactly what each piece said without having to pause and play it until I reach the text. Works beautifully for what I use it for.

Love this app. Some of best photo ops of my 14 month old grandson are missed because he's in motion. With this app I can video him on the go and grab the perfect shots. Looking forward to using it when trying to get a group shot. Plans are to video for 10 or 20 seconds. Out of the results 200+ frames surely that one perfect shot will be there.

Cool app
Let me start with the bad. I wish you can use this app in not just landscape but also portrait mode. The worst quibble that I have is that you cannot enlarge each frame to a size that you can see people's expressions and details before saving it. That would really help out. Each frame is small enough that it's very difficult to see everything. However, it's very straightforward and seems to achieve what it was designed to do.
