Thumbico

There are times when you may need to create a thumbnail, maybe for uploading together with a video clip to act as a cover or for creating a preview section for your website's online photo gallery. Or maybe you would like to have your own image on a forum or blog site. No matter what the reasons are, it's always a good idea to have a software for creating thumbnails installed on your computer. There are numerous programs for creating thumbnails, but only few of them are simple enough to be used by most users and offer just the features required by the average user.

Thumbico is such a program. This simple Windows application allows you to resize any image file, while keeping its proportions intact, and save it as a new image file or over the existing one. But that's not all it can do. Thumbico can also rotate or flip an image or add a grayscale effect to it. This will make the final image compatible with any project which involves using thumbnails.

The interface of Thumbico is extremely simple and clean. The user just needs to add his desired image into the program, adjust the resolution and save the image file. The program is compatible with a wide range of graphical formats, including BMP, JPEG, GIF and PNG. Besides manually selecting the resolution, the program allows customizing it using shortcut keys. Furthermore, there are a couple of predefined resolutions which can be chosen. These resolutions are usually required by blogs, forums and other similar websites.
