YouTube Thumbnail Downloader
Get the thumbnail of a YouTube video at every size, from its link
The thumbnails come straight from YouTube's image server and the titles from YouTube; nothing else is sent anywhere. Not every video has every size: the largest (1280 × 720) is there for most videos uploaded in HD. Thumbnails are the work of their creators; use them as their rights allow.
How to download a YouTube thumbnail
- Paste a YouTube video's link or ID, or several, one a line.
- Select Get thumbnails: each video's cover is shown at every size YouTube keeps, with the video's title.
- Download the size you want, copy its link, or get the largest of every video in a ZIP archive.
