Frequently Asked Questions

Which thumbnail sizes are available?

Maximum resolution (1280×720), SD (640×480), HQ (480×360), MQ (320×180), and default (120×90) — when YouTube provides them.

What YouTube links are supported?

Standard watch URLs, youtu.be short links, embed links, Shorts, live URLs, or a raw 11-character video ID.

Why is max resolution sometimes unavailable?

Not every video has a 1280×720 thumbnail uploaded. Older or lower-quality uploads may only offer smaller sizes.

Is this tool affiliated with YouTube?

No. Thumbnails are fetched from YouTube's public CDN. Only use downloaded images in line with YouTube's terms and copyright rules.
