Provides support for thumbnails in Explorer with more formats.

SageThumbs is a Windows shell extension which provides support for an increased number of different image formats so that thumbnails may be displayed.

After installing SageThumbs, you will have extra right-click options available in Windows Explorer. Additional format support will also be installed. A total of 162 images formats will be supported, thanks to its integration of the GFL open source library.

In addition to the improved support of image files, SageThumbs also offers the ability (via context menus) to send files via email and can also quickly convert rare file formats to more common formats like JPEG, BMP or PNG.

Overall, SageThumbs offers some conveniences to people who often deal with rare image file formats and can save time.
