FAQ
- Why is 1280×720 missing for some videos?
- That video simply has no HD thumbnail — YouTube does not always generate the large size. This tool lists only what really exists.
- Can I download the video file too?
- No. YouTube blocks server-side requests and requires a browser attestation token, so there is no free way to retrieve the video itself.
- May I reuse someone else's thumbnail?
- That can raise copyright issues. Use it for reference or analysis, and get permission before reusing it.
