Is it free?

Yes, the YouTube Video Thumbnail Downloader is free to use without creating an account! However, there may be limits on the number of extractions you can perform daily to prevent abuse.

How does it work?

When you start the extraction process, our server accesses the YouTube video page and applies various methods to find all available thumbnail images. We then analyze these images to provide useful information like quality and size.

Does it work with all YouTube videos?

The tool works with most public YouTube videos. However, it may not work with age-restricted videos, private videos, or videos that have disabled thumbnail previews.

How many images are extracted?

After the server navigates to the website you provided, it scrolls down really fast for a few seconds to find as many images as possible. Every image that the website loads in those first ~10 seconds is then sent back to you. Tracking pixels and missing or invalid images are automatically removed.

What does "Thumbnail preview not available" mean?

This message appears when we cannot display a preview of the thumbnail image on our page. This can happen due to restrictions set by YouTube. However, you may still be able to download the image directly.
