Frequently asked questions
Which YouTube URL formats does this tool support?
The tool parses standard watch URLs (youtube.com/watch?v=...), short URLs (youtu.be/...), embed URLs (youtube.com/embed/...), and Shorts URLs (youtube.com/shorts/...).
Why might the maximum resolution thumbnail not be available?
YouTube generates the 1280x720 "maxresdefault" thumbnail only for videos processed at 720p or higher. Older or low-resolution videos may only have the 480x360 or smaller sizes.
Can I use downloaded YouTube thumbnails commercially?
YouTube thumbnail images are subject to YouTube's terms of service and the copyright of the original creator. Always obtain permission before any commercial use, and only download thumbnails for videos you own or have rights to.
