Thumbnail Generator can generate thumbnail images for all the JPG and PNG image files. The thumbnail generator can only work correctly, when the image file name exactly matches the Product ID for Your cart to associate the image with the product.

 

To generate thumbnail images, follow the steps:

 

1.     Click on Thumbnail Generator, as shown in the Figure 2-23-1 below.
