The video thumbnail that’s attached to the video on such platforms as YouTube is the face of the video and can play an important role in a user’s decision to click on it Very often you might need the thumbnail of a video separately for a variety of uses: to make a collage of different video thumbnails for your blog post, design a cover image for your channel using various video thumbnails, use it in a social media post in case it’s not generated automatically, and so on. In any case, it’s great to have a tool that allows quickly grabbing and downloading the thumbnail on your device. Our YouTube Thumbnail Downloader does exactly that. It allows you to generate the thumbnail of any YouTube video and download it in just a few seconds (for Vimeo thumbnails go here). Let’s quickly go through the steps you need to complete to get the thumbnail on your device.
