About the Vimeo thumbnail downloader
Poster frames and the sizes on offer.
On Vimeo, the thumbnail is the poster frame: the still the creator chose to represent the film. Because Vimeo is used by filmmakers and studios, these frames are often beautifully composed shots in their own right.
No login is needed, on Vimeo or on our site.
Each thumbnail shows as a preview on the page before you save it.
It is fast, free and unlimited, so you can save as many thumbnails as you need.
The tool offers the poster frame in a range of widescreen sizes, from Full HD 1920×1080 down to a 240×135 preview, so you can take a sharp image for a portfolio or presentation, or a small one for a newsletter.
Use it for a festival line-up page, a review or blog post, a mood board, or to keep the cover of your own Vimeo uploads. Name the filmmaker whenever the frame appears outside Vimeo.
Every size keeps the 16:9 widescreen shape, so the frame drops neatly into slides, web banners and video players without cropping. If a creator later changes the poster frame on Vimeo, submitting the link again gets you the new one.
