Thumbnail Generator
Thumbnails need an exact box so every card in a grid lines up. Pick a common size or type your own, choose whether each image is cropped to fill the box or shown whole with padding, and the whole batch comes out the same shape, compressed for the web.

Frequently asked questions
Crop or pad?
Fill (crop) gives clean, uniform tiles but trims the edges of images with a different shape; the Keep control chooses which part stays. Whole image (pad) keeps everything and fills the gap with a colour or a blurred copy.
Will small images be enlarged?
Yes, so every thumbnail has exactly the requested size. Enlarging cannot add detail, so start from images at least as large as the thumbnail.
Are my images uploaded anywhere?
No. Processing happens inside your browser with WebAssembly and Web Workers. The site only downloads the app code and codecs; your files never leave your device. You can confirm this with the live upload counter on the tool, or in your browser's network panel.
Can I process many files at once?
Yes. Drop a whole selection or folder. Files are processed in parallel on several worker threads, each result can be downloaded on its own, and everything can be saved as one ZIP.
Is it free? Is there a file limit or watermark?
It is free with no account, no watermark and no daily limit. The only limit is your device's memory: very large images (over roughly 100 megapixels) may be refused to keep the tab from crashing.
