YouTube Profile
Picture Downloader

Three sizes: 88 × 88 (small, for chat and comment avatars), 240 × 240 (medium, standard), and 800 × 800 (the highest-resolution version YouTube exposes — perfect for print or high-DPI displays). All three come straight from YouTube's CDN.

Yes. Paste any video or Shorts link and the tool follows the video → channel → avatar chain automatically. You don't need to know the channel URL.

No. Free, no sign-up, no download of any extension. Paste a link, click Download, done.

For personal use (references, moodboards, contact books) — yes. For commercial use (impersonation, fake accounts, sale of merchandise) — no. YouTube profile pictures are the creator's trademark; don't use them to mislead anyone.

YouTube doesn't always host the 800 × 800 version, especially for older channels that never re-uploaded their avatar. In that case we fall back to the highest resolution YouTube actually serves (usually 240 × 240).

JPEG — the format YouTube stores channel avatars in. Filename includes the @handle for easy sorting.

No — YouTube doesn't expose profile pictures of private channels via the public API. This tool only works with public channels (which is 99.9% of them).

Not yet — this tool is avatar-only. Banner downloader is on the roadmap.
