Download for personal use. Do not re-upload someone else’s work without permission.
This page genuinely downloads the public thumbnail image of the YouTube Shorts video link you paste, in four sizes up to Full HD. Thumbnails are public images served by YouTube itself, so this works for any public video.
Video file download is not available in this tool yet: we could not verify a free, working video-download service for YouTube (the best-known public service now requires an account key), so this page does not pretend to download video files. The thumbnail tool above is real and works now.
- Copy the link from the video (Share, then Copy link).
- Paste it above and press Download.
- Save any thumbnail size shown — Full HD, SD, HQ or MQ.
