What resolutions can I get?
Max HD is 1280×720 (maxresdefault) when the uploader provided one. We also show HQ (480×360), MQ (320×180), and SD (640×480), which exist for every video.
Is it legal to download thumbnails?
Thumbnails are publicly served by YouTube. Use them within YouTube's terms and respect the creator's copyright — great for previews, references, and research. This tool doesn't host anything.
Do you download the video itself?
This tool focuses on thumbnails, info, timestamp links, and embeds — all of which work instantly in your browser. See our guides for more.
