Is it legal to download YouTube thumbnails?
YouTube thumbnails are publicly accessible images. However, please respect copyright and use thumbnails responsibly. This tool is intended for research, inspiration, and fair use purposes. Always credit original creators when appropriate.
Why can't I extract thumbnails from some videos?
Some videos may have restricted access, be private, or have been removed. Additionally, very new videos might not have all thumbnail resolutions generated yet. Live streams may also have different thumbnail availability.
How does the security system work?
We use a secure token-based system to protect thumbnail access. Each extraction request generates a temporary, encrypted token that expires after 30 minutes. This ensures secure and controlled access to thumbnail resources.
