Thumbnail Creator

Depending your project, you might need to use thumbnails rather than actual sized images. Luckily, with the help of specialized applications like Thumbnail Creator you are able to convert nearly any image file from your computer into a small representation of the original.

The application runs in a pretty compact window, fitted with a preview section to give you a glimpse of what the resulting thumbnail looks like, as well as options you can set. You mostly need to consider correctly choosing the input and output folder, at the press of a button the process being put in motion.

In technical terms, the application is capable or running on nearly any configuration. The amount of system resources used and space taken on your hard disk drive is not something to worry about.

Before hitting the “Start” button in order to have image files reduced, you can quickly adjust several settings. The application lets you select method to resize, which can either be a percentage or using custom width and height.

Quality of the newly created file can be set by filling in a dedicated field. An integrated option automatically creates a HTML page that displays all created thumbnails. However, there are no customization options other than background color.

Moreover, you can also select large, medium or small as preset size options and seem to apply regardless of the width and height you provide. The preview section is not of much use, as it only displays thumbnails as they are processed and the transformation is done almost instantly.

Taking everything into consideration, we can say that Thumbnail Creator is a straightforward application that manages to get the job properly done. However, it leaves a little something to be desired due to the overall poor design and lack of advanced features.
