Last Chance To Get Our Sunday Special On The YouTube Thumbnail Stealing Machine :)
Published: Mon, 01/11/21
Our Sunday Special is continuing today! Get a really useful
YouTube tool, and a great collection of bonuses!
Video Thumb Inspector allows you to grab YouTube thumbnails from any video, in a variety of formats, along with the animated gif preview of the video.
Why is this such a great utility? Well, for me... a few reasons
Often times, when I am working on my channels, I need to use the same thumbnail for another video, like a new customer review video. But if I am not at my office computer, I don't have the original. I can, of course, download the thumbnail from YouTube. The problem is that YouTube doesn't give you the original thumbnail. They give you a lower resolution version, with black bars at the top and bottom. Using
Video Thumb Inspector will give me the full version
I often embed videos onto my websites, and I will use a third-party player, like PressPlay. This will give me the option to upload a thumbnail. If the video is someone else's, I won't have access to the thumbnail, so I will need to create one... or more likely, I just won't bother (bad boy!)
The preview gif that YouTube videos have is cool, so being able to grab that and use it in emails, or on a website is pretty awesome, and saves time
Sometimes I want to grab the really good examples of thumbnails that I see, so I can use them as inspiration for my own
All of these uses really make life much easier, and get me to actually do the things I know I should be doing with videos :)
