Questions
Frequently asked
Can I use thumbnails on my own channel?
Thumbnails are copyrighted by their creators. Use them for reference, or with permission or fair use.
Why is the HD version missing?
Older or low-resolution uploads don't have a 1280×720 thumbnail. Try the SD or HQ size.
Does it work with Shorts?
Yes. Shorts, regular videos and youtu.be links all work.
Is my data sent anywhere?
We have no server, so nothing reaches us or is stored. Thumbnails are loaded straight from YouTube's image servers using the video's ID. Nothing else is sent.
