What is a thumbnail?
A thumbnail is a small representation of a picture on a web page,
usually containing a hyperlink to a full-size version of the graphic.
Thumbnails are used to load pages that have lots of graphics or
pictures more quickly in a Web browser.
Thumbnails are ideally implemented on web pages as separate, smaller copies of the original image, in part because one purpose of a thumbnail image on a web page is to reduce bandwidth and download time. Some web designers produce thumbnails with HTML or client-side scripting that makes the user's browser shrink the picture, rather than use a smaller copy of the image. This results in no saved bandwidth, and the visual quality of browser resizing is usually less than ideal.
