Frequently Asked Questions
Is it legal to download YouTube thumbnails?
Generally, downloading thumbnails for personal use or reference is acceptable. However, thumbnails are copyrighted material owned by the content creator. If you plan to reuse them publicly, you should seek permission or ensure your use falls under fair use guidelines.
Why is the HD thumbnail missing?
Not all videos have high-definition thumbnails. If a video was uploaded in low quality or is very old, the 1280x720 thumbnail might not exist. In such cases, the tool will show a placeholder or the next best quality.
Does this work for YouTube Shorts?
Yes! You can paste links to YouTube Shorts, and the tool will extract the thumbnail just like regular videos.
