All Thumbnail Tools
Nine extractor modes, one engine. Each page below is tuned to a different job — the tool itself behaves the same, so pick whichever describes what you are trying to do.
YouTube Thumbnail Downloader
The main extractor. Paste any YouTube link and download the cover in all five stored resolutions.
4K & HD Thumbnail Downloader
Goes straight for the maximum-resolution file YouTube keeps — the 1280×720 maxresdefault image.
YouTube Shorts Thumbnail Downloader
Cover photos from vertical Shorts, straight from a /shorts/ link.
YouTube Album Art Downloader
Album covers, poster art and audio artwork from music videos and topic channels.
YouTube Thumbnail Viewer
See a cover at full size in every resolution without downloading anything.
YouTube Thumbnail to PNG
Save any cover as a PNG instead of a JPG, converted in your browser.
YouTube Live Thumbnail Downloader
Covers from live streams, premieres and finished broadcasts.
Deleted Video Thumbnail Recovery
Check whether the cover of a removed or private video is still reachable from its ID.
MP4 Thumbnail Grabber
Pull a still frame out of a local video file — no upload, no size limit.
