Edit - I made a change.

How do you download a Youtube thumb as a png in hd? In other words - what’s the URL structure? I only know the URL structure for a fuzzy jpg.

https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ID/hqdefault.jpg

Example:

  • Vid - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=95boUgF6tZc
  • Thumb - https://i.ytimg.com/vi/95boUgF6tZc/hqdefault.jpg

I downloaded the jpg and now it’s the image of this post.
