$thumbnail_url_custom = wp_get_attachment_image_src(get_post_thumbnail_id($post_id), array('640','400'), true ); // Custom size 640x400
$thumbnail_url_thumb = wp_get_attachment_image_src(get_post_thumbnail_id($post_id), 'thumbnail', true ); // Thumbnail size
 
$thumbnail_url_thumb = $thumbnail_url_thumb[0]; // Somthing like: https://huyhoa.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/how-to-get-post-id-150x150.jpg

add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'huyhoa_theme_setup' );
function huyhoa_theme_setup() {
    add_image_size( 'category-thumb', 180 ); // 300 pixels wide (and unlimited height)
    add_image_size( 'homepage-thumb', 120, 120, true ); // (cropped to 120px x 120px)
}

Then you can use this code to get the image URL with the defined size

1
wp_get_attachment_image_src( $thumbnail_id, 'medium')[0];
