<div align=justify>You can create '''''thumbnail images''''' using a cPanel application. Thumbnails are the smaller versions of your images. This can be useful when creating a photo page with smaller previews of your images available before viewing the larger original image, saving bandwidth. 

In this tutorial we'll let you know how to convert a directory of images to thumbnails. To create thumbnail images, log into your '''cPanel => [[Advanced]] => Image Manager''' and click on '''Thumbnailer link'''.

* '''Locate the directory''' you would like to make thumbnails for by clicking the {{#icon: folderbutton.png}} button(s).

* '''Click the name of the folder''' to create thumbnail images in the directory.

* Click '''Thumbnail Images''' to complete the process.

* By using the '''Scale Percent''' text boxes you'll be able to define how small the images should be.

* It is recommended to keep the '''Keep Aspect Ratio''' checked when creating thumbnails to keep the height and width proportional.

* There is an option to return to the default Scale Percent values by clicking '''Reset Dimensions'''.

Once your images are resized, a thumbnails directory will be created as a subdirectory within the selected folder. The thumbnail images will have the prefix '''''tn_*''''', where '''*''' stands for the filename and extension.

* Click the link for '''Your images have been thumbnailed into''' to view the thumbnails directory in the cPanel File Manager.
