Thumbnails creation

This page let you create missing thumbnails.

GD version

GD is the picture manipulating library for PHP. Choose the version installed on your server. If you choose the wrong, you'll just have errors messages, come back with your browser and choose the other version. If no version works, it means your server doesn't support GD.

Width and height

Maximum dimensions that thumbnails can take. Aspect ratio is maintained.

Number of thumbnails to create

Do not try to miniaturize too many pictures in the same time. Indeed, miniaturization uses a lot of CPU. If you installed Piwigo on a free provider, a too high CPU load can sometime lead to the deletion of your website.

File format

Only JPEG file format is supported for thumbnail creation. Thumbnails can be created only from PNG and JPEG pictures.
