How to Create a Thumbnail<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Now that you know what a thumbnail is, we\u2019ll show you how to create them using the cPanel tool called Thumbnailer<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  2. Under the Files<\/em> subheader, click on the Images<\/strong> icon.
    \"Create<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Click on the Thumbnailer<\/strong> link.
    \"Create<\/li>\n\n\n\n

  5. Click the Thumbnail<\/strong> button next to the folder containing the images you want to thumbnail.
    \"Create<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Once a selection is made, cPanel will allow you to specify the percentage (%) by which you want to scale the width and height of your images. Enter the percentage in the first field under Scale Percent<\/strong>.

    NOTE:<\/strong> By default, the Keep Aspect Ratio<\/strong> checkbox is checked. This will maintain the width and height ratio so that the image does not appear stretched.<\/p>\"Set
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n

  7. Click on the Thumbnail Images<\/strong> button.
