How the Bilibili Thumbnail Downloader works

1. Paste a Bilibili link

The address is checked against Bilibili's own domains before anything is requested.

2. Public metadata is read

Our server asks Bilibili's public metadata service which images exist, then loads and measures each one.

3. Download

Save the size you need, copy its URL, or download every size as a ZIP.

Supported input

  • bilibili.com/video/BV1xx411c7mD
  • m.bilibili.com/video/BV...
  • A bare BV id
  • Legacy av ids (bilibili.com/video/av123456)

Limitations

  • Bilibili refuses anonymous server requests to its web API; this tool does not work around that and reads the public page instead.
  • b23.tv short links are not accepted; open them and paste the full address.
  • Region-locked or removed videos cannot be read.

How your data is handled. The link you enter is sent to A2Z.Tools so our server can read the platform's public metadata and check each image. We do not store the link, and our analytics record only the platform, how many images were found and any error code. Images are downloaded through a short-lived link that stops working after about 30 minutes.


What the Bilibili Thumbnail Downloader does

Bilibili video covers are designed by uploaders and are often the most recognisable part of a video. This tool reads the cover from the public video page and offers both the uploaded file and the resized image Bilibili uses when a link is shared. It is useful for uploaders collecting their own covers, bilingual channels mirroring artwork on other platforms with the same owner, and researchers keeping reference material.

Supported Bilibili inputs

  • Video pages: bilibili.com/video/BV1xx411c7mD
  • Mobile pages: m.bilibili.com/video/BV…
  • A bare BV id such as BV1xx411c7mD
  • Legacy av ids: bilibili.com/video/av123456

b23.tv short links redirect to an unknown target, so they are not accepted. Open the short link and paste the full bilibili.com address.

How the cover is read

Bilibili’s web API answers anonymous server requests with a refusal as part of its anti-automation controls. The tool respects that and does not try to get around it. Instead, our server loads the public video page and reads the cover declared in its og:image tag.

What you get

  • Uploaded cover – the declared image with Bilibili’s resize suffix (such as @1200w_630h) removed, which is the cover file as uploaded
  • Share image (resized by Bilibili) – the exact image the page declares for link previews

Both are loaded and measured before they are shown, so you can see how much larger the uploaded cover is than the share version.

Common uses

  • Keeping a full-size copy of covers you designed for your own Bilibili channel
  • Checking how the share image crops your cover in link previews
  • Collecting covers of your own videos for a portfolio

Limitations

  • Region-locked, removed or login-only videos cannot be read.
  • If the page does not declare a cover, there is nothing to download.
  • Bangumi, live rooms and articles are not video pages and are not accepted.

Privacy

The link you enter is sent to A2Z.Tools so our server can load Bilibili’s public video page and check each image. We do not store the link, and our analytics record only the platform, how many images were found and any error code. Images are delivered through a short-lived download link that stops working after about 30 minutes.

Frequently asked questions

Why doesn't the tool use Bilibili's API?

Bilibili’s web API refuses anonymous server requests as an anti-automation measure. The tool does not work around that; it reads the cover the public video page declares instead.

Can I paste just the BV id?

Yes. A bare BV id is turned into its bilibili.com/video address automatically. Legacy av ids are accepted inside a bilibili.com/video link.

Why was my b23.tv link rejected?

b23.tv links are redirects, and the tool does not follow unknown redirects. Open the link in your browser and paste the full bilibili.com address.

What is the difference between the uploaded cover and the share image?

The share image is a copy Bilibili resized for link previews. The uploaded cover is the same file without Bilibili’s resize suffix, which is normally larger.

Why does a video fail even though it exists?

Videos that are region-locked, removed or restricted may not present a public page to our server. When that happens the tool reports the error rather than guessing.
