still frame

Single video image

A still frame is a single image extracted from a video or film sequence—one frozen moment from moving footage.

The term emphasizes that what's normally in motion has been stopped: She paused the video on a still frame of the suspect's face.

In filmmaking and video editing, still frames serve as reference points or create freeze-frame effects.
