gnuThumbnailer - Image Batch Processing

gnuThumbnailer is a thumbnail generator and an image batch processing tool. The following tasks can be performed by gnuThumbnailer.

Create Thumbnails

  • create fixed size thumbnails - it may be necessary to crop the edges of the images - you have to choose which part of the image should be left over
  • create fixed size thumbnails which are not cropped - Instead of cropping, colored borders are added to the thumbnails - you have to set the color (transparency is also possible) of the borders as well as the position of the picture
  • create scaled thumbnails - you have to set a maximum width and a maximum height for the thumbnails - the input images will be resized to fit these values - so the thumbnails will be different sized, nothing will be cropped and no borders will be added

Image processing settings

You can use the following features to manipulate your images:
  • Images can be flipped and rotated by a user-defined angle
  • Images can be rotated automatically, if they contain EXIF data
  • Images can be stained (sepia effect, grayscale, user-defined color)
  • The colors of images can be overlaid
  • This function can also be used to make images lighter or darker
  • You can add a colored or a transparent border to your images
  • You can add a water sign to your pictures

Some technical information

  • gnuThumbnailer is light in weight - the application requires only 2.5 MB of hard disk space
  • gnuThumbnailer runs under Windows and Linux
  • gnuThumbnailer requires the Java runtime environment (which can be downloaded here for free)
  • gnuThumbnailer can create images up to a resolution of 100 megapixels
