Grab any YouTube thumbnail.
Paste a YouTube link and get its thumbnail in every resolution to view or download. YouTube stores up to five sizes for each video, from a 1280x720 max-res image down to a 120x90 crop. This tool reads the video ID, previews the sizes that exist, and lets you save or copy any of them.
| File name | Dimensions |
|---|---|
| maxresdefault | 1280 x 720 |
| sddefault | 640 x 480 |
| hqdefault | 480 x 360 |
| mqdefault | 320 x 180 |
| default | 120 x 90 |
Paste the video URL or its 11-character ID into the box above. The tool reads the ID, then shows every thumbnail YouTube stored for that video. Click Download on the size you want. If your browser blocks the direct save because of cross-origin rules, the image opens in a new tab so you can right-click and save it.
The largest file is maxresdefault at 1280x720 pixels. Not every video has it: YouTube only generates maxresdefault when the original upload was high definition, so older or low-res videos top out at sddefault (640x480) or hqdefault (480x360). When maxresdefault is missing the tool hides that card automatically.
The thumbnail belongs to whoever made the video, so respect their copyright. Downloading one for reference, competitor analysis, or a quick study of what performs well is normal. Reposting it as your own, or using it to imply an endorsement, is not. When in doubt, ask the creator or make your own.
