Frequently asked questions
Why is the HD thumbnail missing?
The 1280 × 720 "maxresdefault" image only exists when the uploader used an HD video or custom thumbnail. Use the next size down.
Can I reuse someone else’s thumbnail?
Thumbnails are copyrighted by their creators. Use them for reference or with permission, not in your own videos.
What size should my own thumbnail be?
1280 × 720 pixels (16:9), under 2 MB, as JPG, PNG, or GIF.
