Who, how, and why
TubeSnaps is a browser-first creator image toolkit for YouTube thumbnail, screenshot, timestamp, and preview workflows.
Why TubeSnaps exists
TubeSnaps helps people understand which public YouTube thumbnail image candidates appear available, how those candidates behave in the browser, and how a thumbnail reads in practical publishing surfaces.
The product deliberately avoids claims that it downloads YouTube videos, extracts video streams, guarantees every thumbnail size, predicts CTR, or replaces legal review.

Product principles
Thumbnail availability, image dimensions, mockups, local file previews, and heuristic checks run in the browser whenever possible.
TubeSnaps reminds users to use thumbnails only when they own the video, have permission, or can lawfully reference the image.
Pages explain what each tool can check, what it cannot guarantee, and when users should verify manually.
