Momento Instant image editor with an annotated game screenshot in English
English interface, illustrated with sample content.

Take a screenshot (Ctrl+F8)

Press Ctrl+F8 (by default) to capture the current game frame — or the full screen outside a game. The capture lands in the Instants tab.

The Instants gallery

The Instants tab arranges your captures in a grid, by date.

  • Thumbnail size: drag the zoom slider in the header, or zoom with Ctrl + wheel (pinch on a trackpad) right on the grid.
  • Search (“Filter name or game…”) and game filter (appears when there are several games).
  • Hover an image to copy it; click it to open the viewer (arrows, wheel, Esc).
  • In the viewer: copy, translate, edit, rename, open in the explorer, delete.

Grab a frame from a clip

From a Moment or Sequence player, you can turn the shown frame into a new Instant (full-resolution, editable) — perfect to isolate a key moment, annotate it, or use it as a thumbnail.

  1. Open a Moment (or Sequence) and pause on the frame you want.
  2. Click “Grab frame” (camera icon) in the player bar.
  3. The image lands in your Instants, ready to edit or share.

Use the tools together

Turn a video frame into an image or cover

Extract a frame from a Moment or Sequence as an Instant, edit it and use an image as a custom video cover.

Keep a video excerpt as a GIF

Choose a range in the editor and export a GIF. Find the exported animation in Instants.

Keep clips, screenshots and notes together

Pin a Moment or Instant inside a note or on the freeform canvas to keep the media next to your explanation.

Organise different media with the same labels

Use the same labels across Moments, Sequences and Instants to organise related media your way.
