FAQ
Is this legal?
Downloading is technically allowed, but usage rights depend on the copyright owner. When in doubt, ask for permission.
Why don’t I see Full-HD for some videos?
Not all uploads include a max-resolution thumbnail. The tool automatically hides unavailable sizes.
Does this work on phones?
Yes. Long-press to save or open the image first, then save from your browser menu.
Can I use these for SEO on my site?
Avoid reusing another channel’s thumbnail as-is. Create a unique version (crop, text overlays, composites) to prevent duplication and improve SEO.
