Terms of Service

Last updated: August 2026

Please read these Terms of Service completely before using CoverGrabber (covergrabber.com). By using or accessing the website, you agree to be bound by these terms.

1. Description of Service

CoverGrabber is a free online utility that allows users to extract and download publicly available thumbnail images from YouTube servers using a provided video URL. We do not host, store, or generate these images; we simply provide a direct link to the image files currently hosted by YouTube.

2. Intellectual Property and Copyright

CoverGrabber does not claim ownership or copyright over any of the thumbnail images extracted using our tool. The downloaded images belong to their respective creators, owners, or YouTube.

  • It is your sole responsibility to ensure that your use of any downloaded thumbnail complies with all applicable copyright laws and the concept of “Fair Use.”
  • You must obtain explicit permission from the original content creator before using their thumbnails for commercial purposes, re-uploading them as your own, or using them in any way that violates their rights.
  • CoverGrabber shall not be held liable for any copyright infringement or legal disputes arising from a user’s misuse of images downloaded via our service.

3. Acceptable Use

You agree to use CoverGrabber only for lawful purposes. You are strictly prohibited from using automated scripts, bots, or scrapers to send high-volume requests to our servers or abuse the tool in a way that disrupts the experience for other users.

4. Disclaimer of Warranties

CoverGrabber is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. Because we rely on YouTube’s public image hosting infrastructure, we cannot guarantee that the service will remain uninterrupted, error-free, or functional if YouTube changes its API or image URL structures. We make no warranties regarding the availability or resolution of specific thumbnails.

5. Limitation of Liability

In no event shall CoverGrabber, its owners, or its administrators be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages arising out of or in connection with your use of the website, including but not limited to loss of data, legal claims, or service interruptions.

6. Changes to These Terms

We reserve the right to modify or replace these Terms of Service at any time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. Your continued use of the site following the posting of any changes constitutes acceptance of those changes.
