❓ Frequently Asked Questions

What's the maximum quality I can download?

Up to the highest resolution available for that video (maxresdefault/HD to 4K where the channel has uploaded one), down through hqdefault and mqdefault sizes.

Can I preview the thumbnail before downloading?

Yes — the thumbnail is shown instantly so you can confirm it's the right one before saving it.

Do I need the video owner's permission to download a thumbnail?

Downloading a public thumbnail for personal reference is fine, but if you plan to reuse it publicly, check YouTube's terms and the original creator's rights first.
