Questions about YouTube thumbnails

Resolution availability depends on the source video and the thumbnail uploaded by its creator.

Paste the full YouTube video URL into the input field. The tool extracts the video ID and shows every available thumbnail resolution for direct download.

The tool checks HD (1280×720), SD (640×480), HQ (480×360), MQ (320×180), and default (120×90) files. Not every video has every resolution.

Not every video has a max-resolution thumbnail. If 1280×720 is unavailable, choose the next available source size shown by the tool.

The URL parser supports regular videos, Shorts, and live-stream URLs. A thumbnail can only be downloaded when YouTube exposes that source file; private, deleted, or restricted videos may not work.

No. Solnk does not add a watermark; it downloads the thumbnail file that YouTube makes available for the selected resolution.
