YouTube thumbnail downloader

Paste any YouTube link and save its thumbnail in every size, up to 1280x720. Free, with no sign-up.

    00:01How to use it

    Three steps.

    1. Step 01

      Copy the link

      Any YouTube link works: a video, a Short, a youtu.be link or an embed code.

    2. Step 02

      Paste it above

      The tool finds the video and shows every thumbnail size it has, from HD down to small.

    3. Step 03

      Download the size you need

      HD at 1280x720 is the sharpest, for reuse or a redesign. Smaller sizes suit previews and slides.

    How does this YouTube thumbnail downloader work?

    It reads the video ID from the link you paste, then loads the thumbnails YouTube already publishes for that video at i.ytimg.com. Everything happens in your browser.

    What sizes can I download?

    Up to four: HD (1280x720), SD (640x480), high (480x360) and medium (320x180). Older or smaller uploads may not have an HD version, so the tool only shows the sizes that exist.

    Does it work with Shorts?

    Yes. Paste a Shorts link, a youtu.be link, an embed link or a normal watch link.

    Can I use someone else's thumbnail?

    Thumbnails belong to whoever made them. Save them for research and reference, and ask the creator before you reuse one.
