Network Required Disclosure: Only when you press Fetch, this browser contacts www.youtube.com for the official public oEmbed record or a supplied timed-text URL and i.ytimg.com for thumbnail files. ToolAcre is not in the request path; YouTube receives ordinary connection metadata.
YouTube Metadata & Thumbnail Studio
Check all eight public YouTube thumbnail files, copy published JPG and WebP URLs, download fetched JPEG assets, read the public oEmbed title and channel, and generate clearly labeled local simulations for the approved analytics modules.

Load an SRT, WebVTT, SBV, TTML, YouTube timed-text XML, JSON3, or transcript-panel text file. Parsing and export stay in this browser tab.
No caption file loaded. Nothing is uploaded.
Links are built locally. Metadata exports become available only after the explicit public fetch completes.

Technical Architecture & Precision Pipelines
Built within browser cross-origin limits. Fetches go directly to YouTube, which still receives ordinary network metadata such as the client IP address.
No-Key Public oEmbed Reader
Direct client-to-oEmbed negotiation without exposing personal API keys or consuming costly Google Cloud quotas. Uses official W3C oEmbed endpoints.
MaxRes Fallback Predictor
Fetches and decodes each public thumbnail candidate because YouTube can return a 120 x 90 placeholder with HTTP 200 when a larger file is missing.
Blob Memory Downloader
Keeps fetched JPEG blobs in browser memory for download. WebP controls copy YouTube's published WebP URLs; this tool does not claim a lossless conversion.
Direct Browser Request Path
No ToolAcre proxy handles these requests. Link parsing and modeled modules stay in this tab, while explicit public fetches go directly to YouTube.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do some videos return an error or grey placeholder for the MaxRes (1080p) thumbnail? expand_more
maxresdefault.jpg (1920x1080) asset if the creator uploaded a custom thumbnail with dimensions of at least 1280x720, or if the video was encoded in 720p or higher. For older or auto-generated video thumbs, ToolAcre automatically cascades down to hqdefault.jpg (480x360).
Can I extract thumbnails and tags from unlisted or private YouTube videos? expand_more
Private videos: No. Private videos require OAuth2 user-level permissions and cannot be accessed via public CDN endpoints.
Does ToolAcre store the video URLs or metadata queries I submit? expand_more
How does this tool create keyword suggestions when oEmbed does not publish tags? expand_more
