Frequently asked questions

Why is there no Full HD version for some videos?

YouTube only has a 1280×720 thumbnail if the video was uploaded in HD or has a custom thumbnail. The other sizes are always available.

Does it work with Shorts?

Yes. Shorts, youtu.be links, embed links and normal watch links all work.

Can I use the thumbnail in my own video?

Thumbnails are the creator's work. Use them for reference or personal use, or ask the creator for permission.

Why did clicking Download open a new tab?

Some browsers block the direct download. Long-press or right-click the image in the new tab and choose Save image.
