Frequently Asked Questions

What YouTube URL formats are supported?

Standard watch URLs (youtube.com/watch?v=…), short URLs (youtu.be/…), embed URLs (/embed/…), Shorts URLs (/shorts/…), and bare 11-character video IDs.

Why might maxresdefault not load?

Not every video has a max-resolution thumbnail. If that quality returns a placeholder image, use hqdefault or mqdefault instead.

Are these official thumbnails?

Yes — thumbnails are fetched from YouTube's image CDN (i.ytimg.com) via the Worker proxy.
