The video thumbnail plays an important role in influencing the user's decision to click on a video. It is a viewer's first impression of your video. That's why many bloggers or video creators spend a lot of time optimizing their thumbnails.

Sometimes, a beautiful and well-designed thumbnail lets users want to save it to use as wallpaper. If this is what you want, just follow this instruction to download your favorite Vimeo thumbnail. These methods also apply to downloading thumbnails from YouTube. 

Method 1. Download a Vimeo Video and Its Thumbnail on Windows and Mac

If you want to download a Vimeo video together with its thumbnail, you'll need this advanced Vimeo thumbnail grabber - EaseUS Video Downloader to help. With it, you can:

  • Grab your desired Vimeo thumbnail with the best quality
  • Download a Vimeo video as MP4 in different qualities
  • Convert a Vimeo video into audio in MP3 or WAV format

All of these features also apply to other popular sites like YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Twitch, TikTok, and more. 

To download a Vimeo video and its Thumbnail:

Step 1. Open EaseUS Video Downloader on your Windows or Mac. There is a "Settings" icon from the top bar on its main interface. Click on it.
