Before you download.
Which YouTube thumbnail sizes are checked?
Five public image endpoints: default, mqdefault, hqdefault, sddefault, and maxresdefault. We report the dimensions returned for that exact tier. If a tier has no image, it is marked unavailable rather than replaced by another size.
How do I get a YouTube thumbnail without signing in?
Paste a supported video URL or ID, then choose Download on an available image to download a thumbnail from YouTube. Thumbkeeper does not ask you to create an account.
Does it work as a thumbnail grabber for Shorts or live videos?
Yes. Paste a YouTube Shorts, live, embed, watch, or youtu.be link. The page extracts the video ID and checks the same five thumbnail tiers.
What if the image tier is missing?
That exact card says Unavailable. The tool does not substitute a different tier or claim a size it did not receive.
