FAQ

Can I download any YouTube thumbnail?

You can retrieve thumbnails from public videos, but your right to reuse the image depends on the owner and your intended use.

Why is the thumbnail not full HD?

Some videos do not have a max-resolution thumbnail. The tool falls back to the best available image.
