Frequently asked questions
Why is there no HD (maxres) thumbnail for some videos?
YouTube only generates the 1280×720 version for videos with custom thumbnails or sufficient views — fall back to the 640×480 version.
Can I legally reuse a thumbnail?
Thumbnails are the creator’s copyright. Downloading for research is fine; reuse requires permission or a fair-use basis.
