Frequently Asked Questions
This tool supports standard watch URLs, youtu.be short links, embed URLs, Shorts links, and even a plain 11-character video ID pasted directly.
The 1280x720 maxresdefault thumbnail is only generated by YouTube for videos uploaded in HD. If it's not available, this tool automatically hides that option and shows the other available resolutions.
Thumbnails are owned by the video's creator or YouTube. Downloading a thumbnail for personal reference is generally fine, but you should have permission before reusing someone else's thumbnail publicly.
