❓ Frequently Asked Questions

🎥 ▼ What types of Facebook videos are supported?

Our tool supports all public Facebook video types including Facebook Watch videos, Facebook Reels, regular video posts on timelines, and videos shared in public groups. Just paste the URL and we'll extract the thumbnail. Note that the video must be set to public visibility for our tool to access it.

🔗 ▼ What Facebook URL formats are supported?

We support all standard Facebook URL formats:

facebook.com/watch/?v=VIDEO_ID
facebook.com/username/videos/VIDEO_ID
facebook.com/reel/REEL_ID
fb.watch/SHORT_ID

Just paste any public Facebook video link and we'll automatically extract the video ID to fetch the thumbnail. Both desktop and mobile URLs work seamlessly.

🔐 ▼ Can I download thumbnails from private Facebook videos?

No, our tool only works with public Facebook content. Private videos, videos in closed groups, or videos with restricted privacy settings cannot be accessed by our thumbnail extractor. This is a Facebook privacy limitation to protect user content. Make sure the video is set to "Public" before attempting to download its thumbnail.

🌐 ▼ Do I need to be logged into Facebook to use this tool?

No login required! Our tool works completely independently of your Facebook account. As long as the video is publicly accessible (anyone on the internet can view it), you can extract its thumbnail without being logged into Facebook. This makes it perfect for quick thumbnail downloads without authentication.

📺 ▼ What's the difference between Facebook Watch and Facebook Reels thumbnails?

Both Facebook Watch and Facebook Reels use similar thumbnail systems, but Reels are typically vertical (9:16 aspect ratio) while Watch videos are usually horizontal (16:9 aspect ratio). Our tool automatically detects and extracts the correct thumbnail format for both video types. The download process is identical - just paste the URL.
