Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Here are answers to some common questions about downloading YouTube thumbnails.
Is it really okay to download YouTube thumbnails?
Yep, as long as it’s for personal use—like research or getting ideas—you’re in the clear. Just remember, these images are still the creator’s copyrighted work. So, never re-upload someone else’s thumbnail as your own. That’s a fast track to trouble.
Can I download thumbnails from YouTube Shorts?
Absolutely. Shorts, regular videos, live streams—it all works the same. Just paste the Shorts link, and you’ll get the highest-quality thumbnail available.
Will there be a watermark on the downloaded image?
Never. We give you the clean, original file, exactly as it appears on YouTube. No watermarks from us, ever.
What about private or unlisted videos?
Nope. To protect everyone’s privacy, our tool can only access thumbnails from public videos, just like everyone else on the internet.
