Batch Thumbnail Generator

Many times, when researching a larger project, I make smaller demos to break up my workflow and keep things fresh. The Batch Thumbnail Generator (BTG) is one of these offshoots, a sandbox for creating zip packages with the BlobBuilder API, and Flash-based download solutions. I also used BTG to create the thumbnails for the Software page, which didn’t quite justify the time invested.

BTG allows you to quickly produce .zip thumbnail packages;

• Drag & Drop images into the browser.
• Tug on the images to resize them, or enter a specific width & height.
• Crop images “to fit”, or “to edges”, or not at all.
• Center the image horizontally & vertically, or not at all.
• Add a background color to your outputted images, or transparency.
• Generate batches of thumbnails in “JPEG” or “PNG” format.
• Special thanks to; JSZip, FileSaver, BlobBuilder, Downloadify and SWFObject!
