Frequently asked questions
How do I get the thumbnail of a YouTube video?
Paste a YouTube link — watch, youtu.be, Shorts, embed or live — into the box, click grab, and every available thumbnail resolution appears as a download card.
What is the largest available size?
Most videos offer maxresdefault at 1280×720. If maxres is missing, the SD (640×480), HD (480×360) and MQ (320×180) versions are shown instead.
Can I also download the YouTube video itself?
No. This tool only grabs the thumbnail image shown for a video; it does not download video files, in line with YouTube's terms.
