Frequently Asked Questions

Is it legal to download YouTube thumbnails?

Thumbnails can be downloaded for personal use, reference, research, or inspiration. Using them commercially or claiming them as your own may infringe copyright. Always respect creators' intellectual property.

What resolutions are available?

YouTube generates multiple thumbnail versions: MaxRes HD (1280×720), HQ Default (480×360), SD Default (640×480), MQ Default (320×180), and Low Quality (120×90). Availability depends on the video uploader.

Why is the MaxRes thumbnail showing an error image?

Not every video has a MaxRes thumbnail. If the video was uploaded before 2013 or has very low views, only lower resolutions may exist. In that case, use HQ Default as your best option.

Does this work on mobile?

Yes! On mobile, tap and hold the thumbnail image and select "Save Image" or use the dedicated download button. The tool is fully responsive for all screen sizes.
