YouTube Images

Do you ever want the thumbnail images that are offered by a YouTube video? All you need is the video ID. The video ID is in the bold in the following URLs:

• http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2vHedm6ycsY
  OR
  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2vHedm6ycsY&feature=player_embedded
• Using the video ID, you can now get the URLs to associated images:
  • http://img.youtube.com/vi/2vHedm6ycsY/0.jpg
  • http://img.youtube.com/vi/2vHedm6ycsY/1.jpg
  • http://img.youtube.com/vi/2vHedm6ycsY/2.jpg
  • http://img.youtube.com/vi/2vHedm6ycsY/3.jpg

If you want to do generate these, I have written a simple little script to do it below. Simply enter the YouTube URL in the field below:
