Picknar – Lightweight YouTube Thumbnail Extractor (No Login, No API Key)

2•Picknar•1h ago
I built Picknar as a lightweight tool to extract YouTube thumbnail images in max resolution without requiring login, extensions, or third-party API keys.

The main focus was performance and simplicity:

No account required

Direct thumbnail extraction

Supports Shorts

Minimal frontend dependencies

Optimized for fast response time

The idea came after noticing that most similar tools were either overloaded with ads, slow, or required unnecessary steps.

I’d appreciate feedback on:

UX improvements

Technical architecture decisions

Monetization approach (currently ad-supported)

Long-term defensibility in a competitive niche

Happy to answer questions about implementation or tradeoffs.
