# thumbs.248.no
This is a simple proxy for YouTube thumbnails. It will fetch the best quality thumbnail for a given YouTube video, and cache them. YouTube servers will be queried only the first time a thumbnail is requested.
Go to [thumbs.248.no](https://thumbs.248.no) and enter a YouTube URL or video ID to see it in action.
## Redirector setup
Using Redirector (a browser extension you can download from [here](https://einaregilsson.com/redirector/)), you can redirect any YouTube thumbnail URL to the proxy. This will use the best resolution available for _all_ thumbnails on youtube.com, so expect a bit of extra data usage.
You can import [this predefined rule](./docs/Redirector.json) or manually create a rule with the following settings:
- Include pattern: `https://*.ytimg.com/vi*/*/*`
- Redirect to: `https://thumbs.248.no/$3`
- In advanced options, check every box under *Apply to* except "Main window (address bar)"
