Stills from video are lower resolution than photos. Use burst or a photo while recording for important moments.

How do I get a still photo from a video on iPhone?
Short answerPlay the video in Photos, pause on the frame you want, and take a screenshot. On recent iOS versions you may also see an option to save a frame. Pause slightly before the moment, then step forward frame by frame by dragging the timeline.
