The THUMB file extension (or .THUMB) is a file that stores thumbnails created by JAlbum, a software program used to produce and publish web albums. THUMB files are associated with JAlbum because they contain the web album thumbnail images that are used for previewing purposes. This file type is necessary for the JAlbum program to generate web album thumbnail galleries.
Technical Details
The THUMB file stores a copy of the original image as a smaller version. Generally, this image is reduced in size compared to the original version, and compressed using approved algorithms (such as TIFF). This makes it easier and faster for browsers to preview and navigate through the web album gallery. In addition, THUMB files require fewer memory resources than the original image format.
THUMB files can be found in any JAlbum created directory and have similar file extensions such as .JPG, .BMP, .GIFor .PNG.
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .THUMB) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .THUMB extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .THUMB file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .THUMB extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .THUMB extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .THUMB file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .THUMB file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .THUMB file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .THUMB file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .THUMB file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
