Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about our tool.
Is it legal to download YouTube thumbnails?
Yes. Thumbnails are publicly available assets. However, they are still copyrighted by the content creator. You can use them for personal purposes, inspiration, or fair use (like in a review or commentary), but you should not use them for commercial projects without permission from the copyright owner.
What is the highest quality thumbnail I can download?
The highest resolution is typically 1280x720 pixels (HD), which corresponds to the "Max Resolution" thumbnail. However, this version is not always generated by YouTube for every video. If it's not available, the next best quality is usually 640x480 (SD).
Do you store the videos or thumbnails I download?
No. Our tool simply provides direct links to the thumbnail images hosted on Google's servers. We do not store any videos or images. Your search history is saved only in your own browser's local storage for your convenience.
Can I download thumbnails for private videos?
No, this tool only works for publicly available videos. You cannot fetch thumbnails for private or unlisted videos that you do not have access to.
