How the Dailymotion Thumbnail Downloader works
1. Paste a Dailymotion link
The address is checked against Dailymotion's own domains before anything is requested.
2. Public metadata is read
Our server asks Dailymotion'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
- dailymotion.com/video/x7tgad0
- dai.ly/x7tgad0
- dailymotion.com/embed/video/x7tgad0
- geo.dailymotion.com/player.html?video=x7tgad0
Limitations
- Private videos are refused.
- A size label such as 1080p is Dailymotion's name for the file; the dimensions shown are measured from the image itself.
- Low-resolution uploads can still have a large thumbnail file that Dailymotion scaled up.
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 Dailymotion Thumbnail Downloader does
Dailymotion generates a family of thumbnail files for every public video. This tool asks Dailymotion’s public Data API for that list, loads each file and shows its real pixel dimensions, so you can pick the right size without guessing from a label. It suits channel owners, publishers who embed Dailymotion players, and editors who need a video’s cover for an article or internal catalogue.
Supported Dailymotion links
- Video pages: dailymotion.com/video/x7tgad0, including older addresses where a title follows the ID after an underscore
- Short links: dai.ly/x7tgad0
- Embed addresses: dailymotion.com/embed/video/x7tgad0
- Player addresses: geo.dailymotion.com/player.html?video=x7tgad0
Dailymotion video IDs start with the letter x. The tool extracts that ID and ignores anything it cannot match to a real video address.
What you get
The API can list up to eight thumbnail files, named by height:
- 1080p size and 720p size – marked as HD
- 480p, 360p and 240p – mid-sized copies for pages and feeds
- 180p, 120p and 60p – small previews and list icons
A label such as 1080p is Dailymotion’s name for the file. The width and height shown next to it are measured from the image itself, and a size the API does not list, or that fails to load, is simply left out.
Common uses
- Getting the HD cover of your own Dailymotion upload for a blog post or newsletter
- Choosing a lightweight 240p or 360p image for a video gallery you manage
- Checking that a newly published video has the thumbnail you intended
- Keeping reference copies of your channel’s covers
Limitations
- Private videos are refused.
- A low-resolution upload can still have a large thumbnail file that Dailymotion scaled up, so compare the measured size with the source quality.
- Removed or mistyped video IDs return an error rather than an image.
Privacy
The link you enter is sent to A2Z.Tools so our server can query Dailymotion’s public API 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
Does the 1080p label mean the image is really 1080 pixels high?
Not necessarily. 1080p is the name Dailymotion gives the file. The tool measures every image after loading it and shows the real width and height, which is what you should rely on.
Can I paste a dai.ly short link?
Yes. dai.ly links are read directly because the video ID is part of the address. Embed and geo.dailymotion.com player links are also accepted.
Why are some sizes missing for a video?
Only the sizes Dailymotion’s API lists for that video, and that load successfully, are shown. Older or low-resolution uploads may not have every size.
Why does a private Dailymotion video fail?
The API marks private videos, and the tool refuses them rather than trying to reach content the owner has not published.
Can I download all the sizes at once?
Yes. After the sizes are shown you can save each one individually, copy its URL, or download every size in a single ZIP file.
