Frequently Asked Questions

Is it legal to download YouTube thumbnails?

Downloading thumbnails for personal use or for reference is generally acceptable. However, remember that the thumbnail content is owned by the video creator. If you plan to use it in your own commercial project, you should obtain permission from the original creator.

Why can't I get the MaxRes HD quality?

The "Maximum Resolution" (MaxRes) image is only available if the uploader provided a high-resolution thumbnail when they published the video. If the video is old or was uploaded in low quality, YouTube might not have a high-resolution version stored.

Does this tool work for YouTube Shorts?

Yes! Our tool supports standard YouTube videos, YouTube Shorts, and shortened `youtu.be` links. Simply paste the URL, and we'll handle the rest.
