Video thumbnail downloader
Get the cover image from a public video page — useful for decks, references, and storyboards.
Need the video file? Use the main downloader.
Save preview images from public video links
The video thumbnail downloader fetches the cover image yt-dlp exposes on a public video page. Paste a TikTok, Instagram, Vimeo, or other supported URL, preview the thumbnail, and save the JPEG or PNG — without downloading the full video file. Creative teams use this for mood boards, pitch decks, storyboards, and reference folders when they have rights to the underlying post.
Thumbnail downloader vs full download
Thumbnails are lightweight references. When you need the full clip or audio, use the main downloader or a dedicated platform page. Choose MP4 or Best quality on TikTok, Instagram, or Reddit when the image alone is not enough for your edit.
Rights and acceptable use
Only save thumbnails from media you may access and keep. PasteGrab does not bypass private accounts or paywalls. Read our acceptable use policy and link preview tool if you need to verify metadata before saving images. For format questions, see supported formats and the MP4 vs MP3 blog post.
Related downloaders and guides
Teams often pair thumbnails with full downloads from X, Vimeo, or format guides. Visit the tools hub for all creator utilities or read how PasteGrab works end to end. See also features and usage limits.
