Frequently Asked Questions
What resolutions are available for YouTube thumbnails? +
YouTube generates thumbnails at multiple resolutions: Max Resolution (1280x720), Standard Definition (640x480), High Quality (480x360), Medium Quality (320x180), and Default (120x90). Not all videos have the max resolution version available.
Can I download thumbnails from any YouTube video? +
Yes, you can grab thumbnails from any public YouTube video. Simply paste the video URL and all available thumbnail resolutions will be displayed for you to save.
What URL formats are supported? +
This tool supports all common YouTube URL formats including youtube.com/watch?v=, youtu.be/ short links, youtube.com/embed/, and youtube.com/shorts/ URLs.
Are the thumbnails free to use? +
YouTube thumbnails are owned by the video creator. You can download them for personal reference, but using them commercially or republishing them may require permission from the original creator.
Why is the max resolution thumbnail not showing? +
Not all YouTube videos have a max resolution (1280x720) thumbnail available. Older or lower-quality videos may only have thumbnails up to 480x360. If the max resolution image fails to load, it simply isn't available for that video.
