# Frequently asked questions

Answers about the tools, the numbers and how the site works.

### What is Finoraa?

A set of eight small tools for YouTube creators: monetization check, channel ID, data viewer, image tool, tag extractor, money calculator, shadowban checklist and thumbnail downloader. There is nothing to sign up for.

### Is Finoraa affiliated with YouTube?

No. Finoraa is independent. YouTube is a trademark of Google LLC.

### Does anything I paste get stored?

Pasted text is processed in your browser and is not saved. Thumbnail previews load directly from YouTube’s image servers.

### Does Finoraa show ads?

Finoraa may show ads from Google AdSense to cover running costs. Ads are labeled and kept apart from the tools.

### Can I see another channel’s earnings?

YouTube does not publish them. The Money Calculator estimates revenue from views and typical RPM ranges, so treat the result as a guide.

### How accurate is the Money Calculator?

It gives a range, not a promise. RPM changes with audience location, season and ad demand. The RPM in your own YouTube Studio analytics is the best number to use.

### Why can’t the tools show views, likes or upload dates?

Those numbers come from YouTube’s servers. The tools here work from what a link or a pasted page already contains.

### Is there really a shadowban?

YouTube does not use that term. Reach can drop for many reasons, such as lower click-through, a change of topic or a policy limit. The checklist lists common signs so you know what to look at in YouTube Studio.

### Why does a thumbnail show a grey placeholder?

Not every video has a 1280 × 720 file. Open the 640 × 480 size instead.

### Does meeting the thresholds mean I will be monetized?

No. YouTube also reviews channels against its policies. The Earn tab in YouTube Studio shows your real status.

### Where do I report a problem?

Use the Contact page and tell us which tool and which link or numbers you used.
