Questions about YouTube thumbnails
Which sizes can I download?
Up to 1280 × 720 for videos uploaded in HD, plus 640 × 480, 480 × 360 and 320 × 180. Some older videos don't have the largest size.
Does it work with Shorts?
Yes. Paste a Shorts link the same way as any other video link.
Do I need an account?
No. Downloading thumbnails needs no sign-in. You only sign in to swap a face.
Do the images go through your server?
No. Your browser loads them straight from YouTube, and we never see which video you looked up.
