🖼️ YouTube Thumbnail Downloader

Paste a video URL to view and save its thumbnail in the highest available quality.

The copyright of each image belongs to the video's creator. Use these images for research and reference only, and do not repost or reuse them without permission.

How it works

Every YouTube video has public thumbnail images in several sizes. This tool finds the video ID in the URL you paste and shows each size, so you can open or save the one you need.

Use it to study what works in your niche. The thumbnails belong to their creators, so do not repost or reuse them without permission.

  • Works with watch?v= links, youtu.be short links and Shorts links
  • Shows up to four sizes, from 320×180 to 1280×720 (older or low-resolution videos may not have the largest one)
  • Right-click an image and choose "Save image as…" to download it
