YouTube Thumbnail Extractor
Pull the thumbnail straight out of a YouTube URL — the tool parses the link, checks which image files actually exist, and lays them out by resolution.

How Extraction Works
Every YouTube video ID maps to a predictable set of thumbnail file names on YouTube's image CDN. Extraction here means three steps done automatically: pulling the video ID out of whatever URL format you paste, requesting each possible thumbnail file, and confirming which ones return a real image rather than YouTube's grey placeholder — so what you see is exactly what's genuinely hosted for that video.
