Thumbnail quality

ThumbFactory uses an advanced pixel averaging technique that can produce some of the best thumbnails you will see on the net. The computational requirements of the technique employed may cause ThumbFactory to appear slightly slower than other thumbnailers as it generates images.

Supported file formats

The current version of ThumbFactory thumbnails GIF, JPEG , BMP and PNG images and always writes thumbnails as JPEGs.

Try before you buy

The shareware version of ThumbFactory has full functionality and can be trialled for 30 days. Please try the product out before buying it.

Installing Java to run the product

To run Thumbfactory you will need to install Java 2 which is a free download from Sun.

Once Java 2 is installed and the product is downloaded and unzipped, Windows users should just double click the "TFactory.jar" file to start the application and create thumbnails. At this time the product is not supplied in a self-installing form that can create entries in the "Start" menu and place itself in the "Program File" folder. In PC terms a 233Mhz Pentium with 32 MByte of memory is the minimum recommended hardware. If the user interface looks all wrong on a Windows98 PC when you start the program then you should turn down (or off) your PC's graphics acceleration.
