Google removes ‘view image’ button from search results

I noticed yesterday that you will get image results from YouTube but there’s no way to get the actual image it presents you. If you click on the search result it just takes you to the video.

So I guess they need to start by enforcing the rules on their own sites.

In case you are curious, you can get the image by going to https://img.youtube.com/vi/<insert-youtube-video-id-here>/0.... [0]

E.g. https://img.youtube.com/vi/HlxLo2sMnXg/0.jpg

Thank you, very helpful! In Firefox you can make a Keyword Search shortcut for this by: - bookmark the above page - edit bookmark - replace <...video-id...> with "%s" - enter a keyword (e.g., "yi") - enter "yi 6e5B7EKVg48" in the location bar to find the image from a video (replace 6e5B7EKVg48 with your video's ID)

Good tip. I would add that maxresdefault.jpg returns a higher resolution image, e.g.: https://img.youtube.com/vi/HlxLo2sMnXg/maxresdefault.jpg
