You’re correct!

       --write-thumbnail  
              Write thumbnail image to disk  

There is also this option:

       --embed-thumbnail  
              Embed thumbnail in the video as cover art  

Here is a script I wrote:

~/bin 0s  
> cat vget  
#!/usr/bin/env fish  
yt-dlp --embed-metadata --write-subs --embed-subs --write-thumbnail --prefer-free-formats -f "[height<=1080]" $argv  

Yes! Green tea is my morning beverage. It tastes so good. And when I go out and get something fancy, it is matcha latte.

Dang. That’s a big release.
