What is a YouTube thumbnail image? Not everyone knows, but essentially it’s simply the cover image that’s visible on all YouTube videos. While a YouTube thumbnail size might be small, it represents a powerful marketing tool, as it’s this image that video creators use to attract viewers – a little like an album cover or business logo. As such, many people base whether or not to watch a video on its YouTube thumbnail.
So, it would be nice to be able to get youtube thumbnail images from other people’s YouTube videos that you download, right? Well, with Addoncrop, which features a YouTube thumbnail grabber, you can, and it’s really easy to do! Keep reading to find out how just how easy.
How Does The YouTube Thumbnail Downloader Work?
Once you’ve been and downloaded the Addoncrop YouTube downloader extension, you’ll find the process of grabbing Thumbnails from the videos of other creators a simple and straightforward process. After installation, your first task is to head to YouTube and find the video whose thumbnail you want to download.
Then, you should open this video and click on the thumbnail icon that is displayed below. From here, you’re only a couple of clicks away from obtaining what you need.
Your click will result in a range of available sizes and resolutions to choose from. Simply select your preferred YouTube thumbnail dimensions and resolutions and then click on the ‘Download’ button. This will lead to your YouTube thumbnail being downloaded as per your desired requirements. What do you do with it next? Later, you can upload the thumbnail image to your YouTube video.
Which Resolutions Are Available?
When following the steps outlined above, you’ll be presented with a range of different YouTube video thumbnail qualities that include the following:
- Medium Quality (MQ) – 320 x 180
- High Quality (HQ) – 640 x 480
- Basic Quality (SD) – 480 x 360
- Full Quality (HD) – 1920 x 1080
The resolution you use will affect the quality of the YouTube thumbnail that you download, which can also be influenced by the complexity of the thumbnail. If it’s a basic YouTube thumbnail, a lower resolution may be ok. If not, and the thumbnail you download is blurry or pixelated, we’d recommend going for a higher resolution.
