This guide shows you how to extract a YouTube thumbnail.
It’s free and you can do it without any 3rd party tool.
How to Extract YouTube Thumbnails
- Open a YouTube video
- Copy video’s ID from the URL — it’s the part after “=”
- Paste the ID in the URL below
img.youtube.com/videoID/maxresdefault.jpg
Now the thumbnail will open in a new tab, at its highest quality.
Pro Tip: Below is the video ID which you need to copy.
Copy that and put it in the “img.youtube.com” URL and you’ll extract the image.
Other Terms Referring to Extracting
I just want to mention that this guide teaches you how to extract — that is the same as:
- Downloading a YouTube thumbnail
- Pulling up a thumbnail
- Pick the thumbnail from a video
All these terms refer to the same thing which I just went through with you.
Thank you for reading this,
