YouTube Video ID & Thumbnail Finder

YouTube Video ID is a unique string of characters created to distinguish one YouTube video from another. Each video has its unique YouTube ID to help users worldwide catalog, search for, and display the proper content whenever needed.

YouTube Thumbnail is a type of image used to preview the context of the video in picture format. Thumbnails usually represent a video as a visual identifier so that you can quickly understand what the video is about when you look at it. While YouTube generates a thumbnail automatically when you upload a video, creators also have the option to create custom thumbnails to make it a personalized experience.

Our YouTube Video ID and Thumbnail Finder tool simplifies the process of extracting both the YouTube video ID and its associated thumbnail. By simply entering the video’s URL, our tool quickly retrieves the unique video ID and displays the associated thumbnail.

Finding a YouTube video ID and thumbnail is easy if you follow the below steps:

1. Copy the URL: Open the YouTube video URL you want the thumbnail and ID of from your desktop or mobile application.
2. Paste the URL: Paste the URL in the textbox above to retrieve that particular video’s YouTube ID and thumbnail.
