Description
Turn any link, page or selected text into a QR code with a right-click. Scan it with your phone to carry the page across. Get the thumbnail from any YouTube video, in every size YouTube generates. Open a video, click the toolbar button, and WiserWork's thumbnail tool opens with that video already loaded and every available image ready to save. No pasting URLs, no hunting for the video ID. WHAT IT DOES - Grabs thumbnails from the video in your current tab - Every resolution YouTube stores: 1280x720, 640x480, 480x360, 320x180 and 120x90 - Works with normal watch links, youtu.be short links, Shorts, embeds and live URLs - Saves as a plain JPG with one click - Keyboard shortcut: Alt+Shift+T PRIVATE BY DESIGN The extension reads one thing: the address of the tab you are looking at, and only at the moment you click the button. It requests no access to any website in advance, so it cannot read pages in the background. It has no content scripts and makes no network requests of its own. On first install it opens its guide page on wiserwork.org once, so you know how to use it; that page is an ordinary web page and the site privacy policy covers it. PERMISSIONS, EXPLAINED - activeTab - reads the URL of the tab you are on when you click the button, so it knows which video you mean. Granted on that click, for that tab, and it lapses when you leave. No access to any website is requested in advance. GOOD TO KNOW Thumbnails are published by YouTube at fixed sizes; the extension does not upscale or re-encode them. Not every video has a 1280x720 version - older and lower-quality uploads may only have the smaller sizes, and the tool shows you which ones exist. Chrome blocks extensions on chrome:// pages and the Chrome Web Store, so the button will tell you to open a normal page there. Free, with no watermark and no paid tier.
