How it works

Every YouTube video ships with several ready-made thumbnails hosted on YouTube's image CDN. This tool reads the video ID from your link and shows you all available sizes straight from that source — nothing is stored here. Download the Max HD version for the sharpest result; it is the exact image YouTube uses on big screens and TV apps.
