Thumbs Plus (from Thumbnail ) is a software for image management under the operating system Microsoft Windows .

Various versions allow multiple user network access to centrally managed databases. The most important basic functions for image processing are also available and can be used automatically.

In addition to the common image data formats (pixel format) such as TIFF , GIF , JPG , BMP and PNG , the program also supports vector graphics such as WPG and CDR , video formats such as MPG, MOV, MP4, WMV etc., other metafiles and fonts and many rarer formats from other operating systems as well most raw data formats , but only in the professional version. The latter also allows the integration of Photoshop - plug-ins .
