What is ThumbView Lite?

ThumbView

ThumbView is a nifty tool that adds thumbnails and tooltips in MS-Windows XP Explorer for file types that don't have built-in support. It started off with just a few formats like PCX, TGA, and DDS, but now it can handle a whopping 19 different image types right in your Explorer! How cool is that?

Easy on Your System

The best part? This program doesn't hog your computer's resources. It doesn't run as an active process, so it won't eat up your memory or CPU time. Instead, it works as a shell extension (COM) that Windows calls when it needs to show a thumbnail. So, you get all the benefits without any of the typical slowdowns!

Two Versions to Choose From

There are two versions of ThumbView: the standard one and ThumbView Lite. The full version is great for developers since it allows you to easily add or create custom Thumbnail Extractors. This means you can expand its capabilities even further.

Why Go Lite?

If you're looking for something more lightweight, ThumbView Lite is the way to go. It has all the same image type support as the full version but comes with fewer extras. This means a smaller download size and quicker thumbnail generation—perfect if you want speed!
