FAQ
Is this free?
Yes. It uses YouTube's public thumbnail service and requires no account or API key.
Where do the images come from?
YouTube exposes each video's thumbnails at i.ytimg.com/vi/{videoId}/. We extract the video ID from your link and display the available sizes.
Why is the max-resolution image missing for some videos?
Not every video has a maxresdefault.jpg uploaded. If it's missing, the standard or high-resolution version is used instead.
