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
