Grab a Vimeo thumbnail

When you upload a Vimeo video to Squarespace, the platform adds a very low resolution thumbnail image that is only 295x166 pixels!

I built this free tool to help Squarespace users to grab higher resolution thumbnail images from their own Vimeo videos. You can download an AVIF file at the standard Vimeo resolutions of 1920px, 1280px or 640px as well as the recommended widths for Squarespace image handling, including 1500px (preferred) and 2500px.

Enter the ID of your video below. This is normally available in the link when you ‘share’ your video. Next, select the required width of the image. 1500 is recommended for most thumbnails on Squarespace. When you click the button, you will be provided with a link to an AVIF image. Unfortunately, Squarespace does not support the AVIF file provided by Vimeo so, after downloading this file, you’ll need to use your favourite graphics application to convert it to a JPEG file.
