Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Is it legal to download YouTube thumbnails?

Yes, it is legal to download thumbnails for personal use, inspiration, or educational purposes (Fair Use). However, thumbnails are copyrighted material. You should not re-upload them or use them commercially without the permission of the original creator.

Why is the HD (1080p) thumbnail showing a black screen?

The "Max Resolution" thumbnail is only available if the creator uploaded a high-resolution video. For older videos or low-quality uploads, YouTube might not generate a 1080p version. In such cases, try the Standard or High quality versions.

Where are the images saved?

Images are typically saved in your device's "Downloads" folder. On mobile, you can also long-press the image to "Save to Photos."
