📖 How to Use
Download any YouTube video's thumbnail in every available resolution — from max-res 1280×720 HD down to the default 120×90 thumbnail.
Step-by-step
- Copy the YouTube video URL from your browser
- Paste it into the URL field — youtube.com, youtu.be, /shorts/, and /embed/ links all work
- Click Get Thumbnails
- Preview all available sizes and click Download on the one you want
💡 Tips
- Max Resolution (maxresdefault) is the best for using as a blog post cover image or social media share
- Not all videos have a maxresdefault thumbnail — if it appears low quality, use sddefault instead
- Downloaded images are standard JPEG files that work in any image editor
- You can use thumbnails for personal projects; commercial use may require the video creator's permission
