Facebook Video Thumbnail Downloader
Download the thumbnail, the cover image shown before a video plays, of any public Facebook video or Reel. Paste the link and save it in one tap, free and without logging in.
What is a Facebook video thumbnail?
A Facebook video thumbnail, also called the cover image, is the still picture shown before a video or Reel starts playing. It's either a frame the creator picked or one Facebook chose from the video. Facebook Video Downloader 94 downloads that thumbnail as a JPG straight from Facebook's servers: paste the link of any public video or Reel and tap 'Download cover image', the first button on this page. It works for Watch videos, page and profile videos, Reels and fb.watch share links, in the browser on iPhone, Android, Windows and Mac, with nothing to install and no Facebook login. The same result also offers the whole video as an MP4, up to 1080p, and its sound as an MP3. Private, friends-only and group-only videos can't be read, because Facebook only shows them to logged-in users. Thumbnails belong to the creator, so ask before reusing them.
