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.

- schafx 9y agoThank 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)
- yohui 9y agoGood tip. I would add that maxresdefault.jpg returns a higher resolution image, e.g.: https://img.youtube.com/vi/HlxLo2sMnXg/maxresdefault.jpg https://img.youtube.com/vi/HlxLo2sMnXg/maxresdefault.jpg
