I don't know in Windoze but in Linux yes you can.

Downloader:
https://flathub.org/apps/details/com.github.unrud.VideoDownloader
There are others but I settled with this one.
It will download single and whole playlist videos, and even age restricted videos and the embedded subtitle track if you choose the .WEBM format.

For an ordered subscription (feed) to channels, including the thumbnails:
https://flathub.org/apps/details/de.schmidhuberj.tubefeeder
https://flathub.org/apps/details/io.freetubeapp.FreeTube
https://flathub.org/apps/details/io.github.prateekmedia.pstube

For a standalone software to download only Youtube subtitles, try Google2SRT.
You will need to install the Java JRE runtime to make it work.

I don't know about Windows since I only use non-systemD Linux for my Internet stuff, but this is what I personally do (using yt-dlp):

Download ''f-ing'' everything:
yt-dlp --write-description --write-info-json --write-annotations --sub-lang en --write-auto-sub --sub-format srt --convert-subs=srt --write-thumbnail --restrict-filenames -f 'bestvideo[height<=512]+bestaudio/best[height<=512]' -o "/home/ACCOUNT-NAME/Videos/%(uploader)s/%(upload_date)s - %(title)s - %(id)s.%(ext)s" https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCU7JpgUNUdapn8d8b0zMg3g

Download only subtitles, thumbnails and video descriptions:
yt-dlp --write-description --write-info-json --write-annotations --sub-lang en --write-auto-sub --sub-format srt --convert-subs=srt --write-thumbnail --skip-download --restrict-filenames -o "/home/ACCOUNT-NAME/Videos/%(uploader)s/%(upload_date)s - %(title)s - %(id)s.%(ext)s" https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCU7JpgUNUdapn8d8b0zMg3g

Obviously, replace "ACCOUNT-NAME" with you own.

This tutorial for using yt-dlp on Kill Gates' Windows looks good:
https://teddit.net/r/youtubedl/comments/qzqzaz/can_someone_please_post_a_simple_guide_on_making/

You can find GUIs here, but I don't know if any of them will have the features or allow extra command line arguments to NOT download the videos but only the thumbnails and subs:

thanks guys

>I only use non-systemD Linux
Based.

>>4450
Wow! I thought Asha Logos would be banned by 2019, not to mention 2023.

>>4450
I'm downloading the Asha Logos channel now from Odysee
https://odysee.com/@ashalogos:92
Thanks for the link anon.

>>4450
how do you use the link ? (the one you typed)

anyone know a tool to download the thumbnail of a whole yt channel ?

>>4463
So thumbnails for all the videos in a channel?
I would think this can do that
>yt-dlp --write-all-thumbnails --skip-download [CHANNEL_VIDEO_LIST_URL]

>>4464
okey

i give up, i just downloaded youtube-dl, HOW DO YOU EVEN USE YOUTUBE DL, IT IS SOO COMPLICATED TO USE !!!. naybody got a shortcut or guide or something for begginer who have just downloaded ? im too retarted

>>4468
Sorry to hear that.
It happens that the anon giving you that advise is a Master with the Terminal and appears to dislike GUIs.
If you would like to manage the Terminal look here for an introduction:
https://itsfoss.com/basic-terminal-tips-ubuntu/
https://itsfoss.com/change-directories/
If you want the easy way, above there are some links to Linux software that are well suited to do what you want.
If you are on Windows, sorry but I am not aware, or remember, of any software to be free (gratis).

>>4469
ok thank

>>4468
Check here, there is plenty:
https://alternativeto.net/software/youtube-video-and-audio-downloader/?license=opensource

>>4468
For yt-dlp here is download links (download yt-dlp.exe).
https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp#installation
yt-dlp is console app, there are GUI (Graphical User Interface) wrappers out there, but I haven't used any.
To use yt-dlp on windows download the yt-dlp.exe binary and place it in a folder where you want to download videos to.
Then simplest way is:
1. Open Command Line (cmg.exe) or PowerShell (if Windows 10/11 right click the Start Menu and select Command Line or Power Shell)
2. Navigate to the folder where you saved yt-dlp.exe
3. Type:
>yt-dlp.exe [URL TO VIDEO]
4. Press enter

For GUI for yt-dlp I guess this one will work (download the Portable as it is the easiest to use I guess)
https://github.com/dsymbol/yt-dlp-gui#portable
There are other GUI's for yt-dlp but I have not tested any of them. Not tested the one I've linked either.

>>4471
ok thank

>>4472
ok thank

>>4464
how do you use the "[CHANNEL_VIDEO_LIST_URL]" ?

is channel and video and list and url divide ?

>>4464
wait nevermind

>>4464
it downloaded hundreds, wtf, i do not meant to download all the version of each and every one of the thumbnail, wtf, how to filter/pick ?

>>4482
Replace --write-all-thumbnails with --write-thumbnail to get only one thumbnail for each video.

>>4483
ok thank

>>4483
do that line will pick the best quality automatically ?

>>4489
That line is about thumbs only and they come in just one size. Some in 640p, some in 1280p.

>>4490
what do you mean by "thumbs only" ?
is the line automatically pick the best quality or pick a random quality ?

>>4490
yes i know the line only download thumbnail only, im asking about the quality of the thumbnail

>>4491
>is the line automatically pick the best quality or pick a random quality ?
The thumbs are just one unique quality, or size. It depends of the video which one will be. 640 or 1280.

>>4447
I don't know if you are aware, but you can get the thumbs manually, one by one, with a browser from the Firefox's family.
Go to Tools/Page Info and in the dialog copy the "image"'s address. Paste that address in a new tab and voila! You've got the image/thumb.

>>4494
Why don't just grab it from google images, it even says "maxresdefault" as well.

>>4495
>google images
No idea about that, I never use Google. How is done?

>>4496
Literally just paste the url or the title and hit enter.

>>4497
i'll give it a try.

I felt an evil change in the air, came here, and noticed an innocent anon deciding to use Google for the first time. (*Shudder*)

I must put a stop to that!!!

>>4498
Dear Pony-Anon, if you don't mind sharing the name of the YouTube channel(s) whose thumbnails you'd like to have, then I'll download them for you, put them into a compressed ZIP file and post a link here for you to download them all easily.
<--- An example.

>>4454
You're welcome. I didn't even know he's on Odysee - will compare to see if there are "missing" videos on his YouTube channel.
>>4453
Me too. I regret not downloading other sites and channels before it was too late.
>>4452
👍 :3

>>4493
ok thank

>>4494
ok thank

>>4499
anon do u like collecting video and parts of channel u like ?

>>4493
do different video have diferent max resolution ?

>>4502
Do I like it? No, it's disappointing and depressing - especially since I haven't been able to save the majority of the good channels, and don't like living in this dangerous era where all evil is now assembling and coming to a point for its final assault against all good. Sorry to not be a bright and cheerful conversation partner in this case.
(Although, perhaps I actually chose to be born into this era, so that I can challenge and strengthen myself, and assist others, during the most difficult time globally faced by mankind/humanity/life, in known human history. It's certainly an epic time to be alive. Perhaps I should visit /ub/ again and "pump some more mind-iron".)

Despite not liking it, I download channels out of concern that there'll be no quality, honest human/humane content remaining soon.
Most YouTube channels will never return somewhere else, once they've been censored.
Truly good/honest websites simply "disappear" from the Internet, or get blacklisted on Google.

Also - I don't have a SIM card in my smartphone and keep it in airplane mode, because of their crazy tracking being impossible to turn off (even on DeGoogled phones) and also every single smartphone being used, is one step closer for a "threshold" to be crossed where "the enemy" decides that it can lock/force the people of a country into using some kind of digital tyrannical social-credit/ID/payment system. Therefore, I don't want to add to the problem.

I just use the smartphone to watch educational videos that I have downloaded previously, but also to reduce the damaging electromagnetic radiation from the phone antennas.
Streaming and watching a video in the car for example (as a passenger) will fry your pony stallion nuts and reduce fertility, but that's just one of many examples of the negative effects.

>>4503
Yes, the videos are offered in all kinds of resolutions, and the maximum resolution is determined by the resolution that was uploaded to YouTube. YT-DLP can, for example, download very high resolution and very low resolution versions of the same video, and also at different audio qualities/bitrates. There are also different video and audio formats offered for each video by YouTube - suitable for different devices, that may only be able to play a certain format and not the other.
By default, I think that YT-DLP (almost) always downloads the highest quality version that's available.

Anyway, must sleep now, but the original offer of downloading those thumbnails from a favourite channel of yours is still available.

If you go through the advice listed by other pony/human anons in this thread, you'll be able to use YT-DLP soon quite well. If there are error messages consider posting a screenshot, which might help (but hide the personal stuff).

>>4504
ok thank

ppl, how to download youtube thumbnail but PNG in ytdlp & ytdl ? all the download are either jpg or webp

>>4508
>all the download are either jpg or webp
That's right, those are the formats made available by jewtube. If you want PNG, then you have to convert them to it.

>>4509
ok thank

if i use httarck to archive a web page like this thread, does the jpeg/jpg image degrade when i download the webpage ? does the image degrade when the file age ? if i convert all the image into png will there be something broke (in the archive)? should i convert all the image to png ? can i convert them to png ?

>>4524
Dear anon.
Using the same criteria and because of viruses, you should use globes every time you type at your Windows Desktop/Laptop.
Be safe.

>>4524

im asking because i have a httrack webpage saved in my computer that is old (not that old), i worry that the jpeg image in it will degrade and ruin my collection

>>4527
If the room's temperature is low enough, they'll stay fresh for a long time and the degradation won't spread to your collection.

>>4529
retarted

>>4529
give actual answer ples

>>4532
Ask stupid question, get stupid answers.

(it has been a while sorry uwu)

>>4568

>>4569
ok thank
