• Get permission from the original creator before using their thumbnails

• Be especially careful with commercial use

We recommend consulting with a legal professional if you're unsure about your specific use case.

This error typically occurs when:

• The URL format isn't recognized as a valid YouTube URL
• The video ID is missing or incomplete
• The URL contains extra parameters that interfere with our parser

Try copying the URL directly from your browser's address bar when viewing the YouTube video.

This could happen for several reasons:

• The video might have been deleted or made private
• Your internet connection might be unstable
• There might be temporary issues with YouTube's servers
• Your browser might be blocking the thumbnail images

Try refreshing the page or using a different YouTube video to troubleshoot.

If the download button isn't working:

• Check if your browser is blocking downloads
• Try using the "View" button and then right-click to save the image
• Ensure you're using a supported browser
• Try disabling browser extensions that might interfere with downloads
