Frequently Asked Questions

What is a YouTube thumbnail?

A YouTube thumbnail is a small image that represents a video. It's the first thing viewers see when browsing through videos, and it plays a crucial role in attracting viewers to click on your video.

Why would I want to download a YouTube thumbnail?

There are several reasons you might want to download a YouTube thumbnail:

  • For inspiration when creating your own thumbnails
  • To use in presentations or articles (with proper attribution)
  • To analyze what makes successful thumbnails effective
  • To save a thumbnail from a favorite video
Is it legal to download YouTube thumbnails?

Downloading thumbnails for personal use, such as for inspiration or analysis, is generally considered acceptable. However, using someone else's thumbnail for your own videos without permission could violate copyright laws. Always respect copyright and give proper attribution when using others' content.

What thumbnail qualities are available?

Pictube provides thumbnails in various qualities:

  • Max Resolution (1280x720px)
  • Standard (640x480px)
  • High (480x360px)
  • Medium (320x180px)
  • Default (120x90px)

Note: Not all videos have thumbnails available in all qualities. The highest quality available depends on the original video.

Do you store the videos or thumbnails I download?

No, we don't store any videos or thumbnails. Pictube simply generates direct download links to YouTube's servers. Once you download a thumbnail, it's saved directly to your device, not our servers.

Is Pictube really free?

Yes, Pictube is completely free to use. There are no hidden charges, no premium versions, and no limits on the number of thumbnails you can download.
