How to get frame as picture from specific time using YouTube API

Question

For example I want to get StackOwerflow logo as picture from youtube video.

From this youtube address: https://youtu.be/QwS1r1mc888?t=2

At this time: 00:02

I can take current video time, video data etc.

player= document.getElementById("movie_player");

player.getCurrentTime();
// ...
player.getVideoData();

How can I get video frame from specific time?

I don't want to get thumbnail image. I want to get exact frame in video then convert it to picture format. – Muhammed Ozdogan Oct 15 '18 at 14:54
@MuhammedOzdogan according to this [answer](https://stackoverflow.com/a/25144716/4092887), it seems is not possible to do what you want. My suggestion *(I haven't tried, honestly)* is check how to get a screenshot "maybe using the approach used by the app [Snipping Tool](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snipping_Tool)" and *(once the video loaded)*, execute the screeenshot functionality. – Mauricio Arias Olave Jan 04 '19 at 22:33
