    For whoever, like me, is looking for the standard sizes, here they are:

    thumbnail = Thumbnail (default 150px x 150px max)
    medium = Medium resolution (default 300px x 300px max)
    large = Large resolution (default 1024px x 1024px max)
    full = Full resolution (original size uploaded)

    add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' );
add_image_size( 'home-slide-img-mobile', 640, 1072, true ); //resize, crop in functions.php

    Now let display somewhere:

    $imgid = 6; //need to get it dynamically
$imgurldesktop = wp_get_attachment_image_url( $imgid, '' ); //use default image size
$imgurlmobile = wp_get_attachment_image_url( $imgid, 'home-slide-img-mobile' ); //use custom set size

    <?php $attachment_image = wp_get_attachment_url( get_post_thumbnail_id() ); ?>
<link rel="preload" as="image" href="<?php echo esc_url( $attachment_image ); ?>">

    Add this snippet to the head section in header.php to preload the attachment image on every page/post.
