1.0.0

A subtle, YouTube-native toolbar appears on every thumbnail. Each action has hover feedback and a green ✓ / red ✗ result flash.

Toolbar actions

• Save image… — native Save As dialog (toggle off in the popup for silent save to Downloads / YouTube Thumbnails)
• Copy image — copies the actual bitmap to the clipboard, ready to paste
• Copy image link — copies the direct highest-res i.ytimg.com URL
• Open full size — opens the full-resolution image in a new tab

Settings popup: enable/disable, hover vs. always-visible, resolution (highest available or fixed), and ask-where-to-save.

Always picks the best available thumbnail (maxres → sd → hq). Works across home, search, subscriptions, channel, watch-page sidebar, and Shorts.

Install

Download youtube-thumbnail-saver-1.0.0.zip, unzip, then load the folder via chrome://extensions → Developer mode → Load unpacked.
