Frequently Asked Questions
How do I download a YouTube thumbnail?
Paste the YouTube video URL above and click "Get Thumbnails". All available sizes will appear, hover over any thumbnail and click the download icon to save it to your device.
What is the maximum thumbnail resolution?
The maximum is "maxresdefault" at 1280x720 pixels. Not all videos have this, older or low-resolution videos may only have HQ (480x360) as the largest option. All available sizes are shown automatically.
Is it completely free?
Yes, 100% free. No account, no subscription, no watermarks, no download limits.
Why is Max Resolution unavailable for some videos?
YouTube only creates a 1280x720 maxresdefault thumbnail for videos uploaded in HD. Older videos or those uploaded in lower quality may not have it. HQ (480x360) is usually the best available for these.
Can I use downloaded thumbnails commercially?
Thumbnails are subject to the original creator's copyright. For personal, editorial or review use it's generally acceptable, but for commercial projects you should obtain the creator's permission. For your own videos, you can freely download and reuse your thumbnails.
