The picture is requested from YouTube. 1CLIK does not download or store the video.

About this tool

Show the public thumbnail for a YouTube video from its link.

Paste a watch link, a short link, or the eleven-character video id. The page asks YouTube’s public image host for hqdefault.jpg. 1CLIK does not download the video and does not store the picture.

A gray or missing image means that video has no thumbnail at that size, the id is wrong, or the video is unavailable. This page cannot fetch private or deleted videos.

Use the image tools if you need to crop the picture after you save it from your own browser.

Quick steps

  1. Paste the YouTube link.
  2. Show the thumbnail.
  3. Save it from the browser if you need a file.

Your browser requests the picture from YouTube. 1CLIK does not receive the video.

FAQ

Do you store the video?

No. Only the public thumbnail address is opened.

What if the image is gray?

That video may not have a larger thumbnail. Check the id.
