Frequently Asked Questions
Our tool supports multiple resolutions: Ultra HD (1280x720), Standard Quality (640x480), Medium Quality (480x360), Small Quality (320x180), and Default Quality (120x90). The actual available resolution depends on what quality the creator uploaded for their video.
YouTube only generates the 1280x720 maximum resolution thumbnail if the uploaded video is high definition (720p, 1080p, 4K, etc.) and if the creator explicitly uploaded a high-resolution custom thumbnail. For older or lower resolution videos, it will show "Not Available" in our tool.
Yes, we fully support Vimeo video thumbnails! Paste any standard Vimeo link, and we will query the Vimeo API to load the large, medium, and small thumbnails automatically.
