Founder & Editor, Thumbnail Download YT
Zishan Khan is the founder and editor of Thumbnail Download YT. He built the tool after getting tired of cluttered downloaders that promise “4K” thumbnails YouTube never actually stores. He spends his time studying how thumbnails are stored and served, testing every edge case across devices and link formats, and writing guides that tell you the honest truth about resolution rather than inflating the numbers.
What I write about
Everything on this site comes back to one topic: YouTube thumbnails — how they are stored, how to save them in the best quality that actually exists, and how to design ones that earn the click. I test each guide against real videos, every link format (watch, youtu.be, Shorts, Live and embed), and every major device before it goes live.
Why the honest angle matters
Plenty of thumbnail sites promise "4K" or "1080p" downloads that YouTube simply does not store — the public maximum is 1280×720. I would rather explain that clearly than print a fake number to win a click. That principle runs through every tool and guide here, from theHD downloader to the honest4K explainer.
