# YouTube thumbnail downloader

Paste a YouTube link or id and get every thumbnail size that exists, plus 16:9, square, and vertical crops, a card mock preview, and batch ZIP downloads.

Paste one or more videos and press Get thumbnails
Every thumbnail size YouTube serves is checked live. Missing sizes, the grey 120 pixel placeholder, and 404s are listed as missing instead of pretending.

Downloads are re-encoded from the decoded pixels (PNG, or the crop format you picked), because a browser cannot save a cross-origin file under its original bytes. Copy URL hands you the original link instead. sddefault is 4:3 letterboxed on most videos, so the crop tool is the honest way to a clean 1:1 or 9:16 piece. The mock preview approximates where YouTube paints the title, progress bar, and duration badge; it is a planning aid, not the platform spec. Private and deleted videos have no thumbnails, and nothing here pretends otherwise.
