Which sizes are available?
Full HD 1280×720 (when the creator uploaded one), SD 640×480, HQ 480×360 and 320×180. Older videos sometimes only have the smaller sizes.

Frequently asked questions
Is the thumbnail downloader free?
Yes, free and with no sign-up.
Does it work with Shorts?

Why is there no HD version?
Some videos, mostly older ones, don’t have a 1280×720 thumbnail on YouTube. Then the largest available size is shown.
