SageThumbs: Free Windows Explorer Extension to Show Thumbnail Previews and Convert Image Formats


As we all know we can show thumbnail previews for image files in Windows Explorer to view or identify the image without opening it. But by default Windows can't show thumbnail previews for all image file formats. There are a few file formats like PSD, TIFF, TGA and XCF which can't be previewed by Windows Explorer.

Wouldn't it be great if we could see thumbnail previews for almost all image files in Windows Explorer? Don't worry! Today we are going to share an absolutely free and small extension for Windows Explorer which allows you to show thumbnail previews for many unsupported file formats in Windows Explorer.
"SageThumbs" is an excellent shell extension for Windows which allows you to preview almost all image file formats in Windows Explorer. It uses popular image viewer XnView's GFL library for this task.

Along with showing thumbnail previews, it also allows you to convert an image format to another which is an extra benefit of using this small utility. You can convert an image format into JPG, GIF, PNG and BMP file formats.

You can even see an image file thumbnail preview in its context menu, Just right-click on an image file and you'll see its thumbnail preview in context menu.

You can also set the image file as Desktop wallpaper by right-click on it and select the desired option. You can also select the wallpaper type (stretched, tiled, centered).

This extension adds some detailed information in image files tool-tips. Whenever you hover the mouse cursor over an image file, you can see extra info like resolution DPI, compression format, colors, etc in its tool-tip.
If you want, you can enable / disable a particular image file format to be previewed by SageThumbs using its Options window. You can also disable its context menu entry, thumbnails in Explorer or customize thumbnail size, conversion options, etc using its Settings.
