Understanding YouTube Thumbnail Resolutions
YouTube generates several versions of each thumbnail at different resolutions:
- Max Resolution (1280x720) - Highest quality available
- High Quality (480x360) - Good for most purposes
- Medium Quality (320x180) - Suitable for smaller displays
- Standard Quality (120x90) - Smallest available size
Our tool automatically detects and provides all available resolutions for the video you specify.
