Full size, not a thumbnail
Snapchat only ever shows a small circle you cannot tap open. This pulls the original file at the size it was uploaded.
Open any public Snapchat DP in HD and save the original file in one tap. The account owner is never told you looked.

One tap and the picture is on screen. There is no queue, no captcha and no waiting room in between.
Check one profile or fifty. Nothing is metered, nothing is counted and nothing asks you to upgrade.
Type the public username, or paste a profile link and let it be cleaned up for you.
The picture loads at its original size in a couple of seconds, with no account involved.
Download it as a JPG exactly as the account uploaded it, with nothing added on top.
Snapchat draws a profile picture as a small circle and gives you no way to tap it open. The file behind that circle is the HD original the account uploaded, and that is the version this pulls, rather than the shrunken copy the app puts on screen.
The difference matters most before you add someone back. A picture the size of a coin hides everything useful, and copied accounts survive on exactly that. At full resolution you can see the background, the framing and whether the shot was lifted from somewhere else, which usually settles it in a second.
The other half of the people using this are saving rather than checking. Social media managers keep brand pictures on file in the size they were uploaded, creators pull profile shots as reference for posts about other accounts, and plenty of visitors have no Snapchat account at all and simply want to see who a shared profile link belongs to. If you want what that account has been posting as well, the Snapchat story viewer covers it.
No. You are not signed in, so Snapchat has no username to attach to the lookup. Nothing appears on their profile and no notification is sent.
No. It runs in your browser on phone or desktop, and works the same whether or not you use Snapchat yourself.
No. A private account publishes nothing to the web, so there is nothing for any tool to load. Public profiles only.
The picture downloads as a JPG at the resolution the account uploaded, not the small circle Snapchat displays. Nothing is re-encoded and no watermark is added.
A lot of accounts use a Bitmoji instead of a photo, and some have never set either. In those cases there is no picture file to pull, so the Bitmoji and snapcode are shown instead.
