FAQ
Why is the Max Resolution (1280×720) not available?
Some older videos and Shorts do not have a 1280×720 thumbnail. In that case it shows as "Not available".
The image opens in a new tab instead of downloading.
Browser security (CORS) can prevent direct downloads. Right-click the thumbnail and choose "Save image as" instead.
