Frequently asked questions

How do I download a YouTube thumbnail?

Paste the video link in the box and click Get Thumbnail. You will see every available size, from Max HD 1280x720 down to 320x180, each with a Download button. Watch links, youtu.be links and Shorts links all work.

Why is the Max HD thumbnail missing for some videos?

YouTube only creates the 1280x720 version when the uploaded thumbnail was large enough. For those videos the highest available size is shown.

Are the thumbnail backgrounds free?

Yes. Every background is free, with no signup and no watermark.

Is it a no copyright background?

Yes. We generate every background ourselves, so you can use them in your own videos and thumbnails, including monetized channels. Please do not resell them or re-upload them as a pack.

What is the YouTube thumbnail size and resolution?

The standard YouTube thumbnail size is 1280x720 (16:9), under 2 MB. All our backgrounds download at exactly 1280x720 as PNG.

Can I get a 4K or HD thumbnail background?

Our files are HD 1280x720, the size YouTube uses for thumbnails. YouTube does not show thumbnails in true 4K, so a bigger file gives no visible benefit.

Can I remove the background from an image?

Yes. Use the Remove BG page. It runs in your browser and gives a transparent PNG. Your image is not uploaded to our server.

Which fonts are good for YouTube thumbnails?

Bold, tall fonts such as Anton, Bebas Neue, Bangers and Luckiest Guy read well at small sizes. See the Fonts page to preview your own text.
