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 not automatically generated for every video. It is usually available only for videos uploaded in High Definition (HD). If the video is low quality or very old, YouTube may not have generated the 1920x1080 image. In this case, please download the "High Quality" (640x480) version instead.
Where are the images saved?
On PC and Mac, images are usually saved to your "Downloads" folder. On mobile devices (Android/iOS), you may need to tap and hold the image and select "Save to Photos" or check your file manager app.
