Is it free?
Yes, with no sign-up and no limit.
Why is the full HD size missing sometimes?
Older or smaller videos sometimes only have the smaller sizes. The tool shows what YouTube has.
Can I use someone else's thumbnail?
Only to study it. Thumbnails belong to their creators, so don't reupload or reuse them as your own.
What size are YouTube thumbnails?
1280 × 720 pixels at full size. YouTube also keeps smaller copies for feeds and phones.
