copied!<p>Each YouTube video has 4 generated images. They are predictably formatted as follows:</p> <pre><code>https://img.youtube.com/vi/<insert-youtube-video-id-here>/0.jpg https://img.youtube.com/vi/<insert-youtube-video-id-here>/1.jpg https://img.youtube.com/vi/<insert-youtube-video-id-here>/2.jpg https://img.youtube.com/vi/<insert-youtube-video-id-here>/3.jpg </code></pre> <p>The first one in the list is a full size image and others are thumbnail images. The default thumbnail image (ie. one of <code>1.jpg</code>, <code>2.jpg</code>, <code>3.jpg</code>) is:</p> <pre><code>https://img.youtube.com/vi/<insert-youtube-video-id-here>/default.jpg </code></pre> <p>For the high quality version of the thumbnail use a url similar to this:</p> <pre><code>https://img.youtube.com/vi/<insert-youtube-video-id-here>/hqdefault.jpg </code></pre> <p>There is also a medium quality version of the thumbnail, using a url similar to the HQ:</p> <pre><code>https://img.youtube.com/vi/<insert-youtube-video-id-here>/mqdefault.jpg </code></pre> <p>For the standard definition version of the thumbnail, use a url similar to this:</p> <pre><code>https://img.youtube.com/vi/<insert-youtube-video-id-here>/sddefault.jpg </code></pre> <p>For the maximum resolution version of the thumbnail use a url similar to this:</p> <pre><code>https://img.youtube.com/vi/<insert-youtube-video-id-here>/maxresdefault.jpg </code></pre> <p>All of the above urls are available over http too. Additionally, the slightly shorter hostname <code>i3.ytimg.com</code> works in place of <code>img.youtube.com</code> in the example urls above.</p> <p>Alternatively, you can use the <a href="https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/" rel="noreferrer">YouTube Data API (v3)</a> to get thumbnail images.</p>
