YouTube thumbnail downloader
Paste a YouTube link and download the thumbnail in every available size. Free, no signup.
How to download a YouTube thumbnail
- Copy the video link. In YouTube, tap Share, then Copy link. Shorts links work too.
- Paste it above. Tap Get thumbnails.
- Pick a size. The biggest size is at the top. Smaller sizes load faster.
- Tap Download. If your device opens the image instead, press and hold it and choose Save image.
Tips for creators
- Use thumbnails you download for reference and ideas, and don't re-upload someone else's thumbnail as your own.
- Study thumbnails from top videos in your niche to see which colours, faces and words they use.
- The biggest size is usually 1280 by 720 pixels, the same size YouTube recommends for uploads.
Questions
Which thumbnail sizes can I download?
The biggest (usually 1280 by 720) plus 640 by 480, 480 by 360, 320 by 180 and 120 by 90. Smaller videos or older uploads may not have the biggest size.
Why is the HD size missing?
Not every video has an HD thumbnail. Older or low resolution videos only have the smaller sizes.
Can I use someone else's thumbnail?
Thumbnails belong to the video's creator. Use them for reference and learning, not as your own.
