FAQ
Is it legal to download thumbnails?
Generally, yes, for fair use (e.g., reference, blog posts about the video). However, the image copyright belongs to the video creator, so avoid using it commercially without permission.
Why is the 4K thumbnail missing?
Not all videos have a high-resolution thumbnail. If the creator uploaded a low-quality image, the Max Resolution version might not exist.
Does it work for Shorts?
Yes, simply paste the link to the YouTube Short, and it will extract the thumbnail just like a regular video.
