Thumbnails load straight from YouTube's public image server (img.youtube.com). Toolsaku stores nothing.

How to use

  1. Copy the link of a YouTube video, Short or live stream.
  2. Paste it (or the 11-character video ID) and tap Get thumbnails.
  3. Tap Download on the size you want, or open it full size and save it.

About YouTube Thumbnail Downloader

YouTube Thumbnail Downloader shows the thumbnail images YouTube publishes for a video: up to 1280 × 720, plus 640 × 480, 480 × 360 and 320 × 180. Sizes the video doesn't have are hidden. It works with watch, youtu.be, Shorts, embed and live links. Nothing is uploaded, and no sign-up is needed.

FAQs

Why is the max resolution missing?

YouTube only makes a 1280 × 720 thumbnail for some videos, mostly HD uploads. Toolsaku hides sizes that don't exist.

Why doesn't Download appear?

Some browsers block direct downloads of the image. Tap Open full size, then long-press (phone) or right-click (computer) to save it.

Can I use the thumbnail?

Thumbnails belong to the video's creator. Use them for reference, or ask for permission before reusing them.
