Thumb*.db Viewer

What is Thumb*.db Viewer

For multimedia files used under Microsoft Windows, the operating system automatically generates special images (cached thumbnails).

These thumbnails and information about the source files are stored in databases that are named differently for different versions of Microsoft Windows.

If the media file or the entire folder is deleted, the thumbnail will remain in the database files.

Our program was written to give computer users comfortable tools to reconstruct database records.

Thumb*.db Viewer allows you to browse and retrieve thumbnails stored in:

thumbs.db, ehthumbs.db (Windows XP and earlier versions);

thumbcache_idx.db, thumbcache_32.db, thumbcache_96.db, thumbcache_256.db, thumbcache_1024.db, thumbcache_sr.db (Windows Vista, Windows 7);

thumbcache_idx.db, thumbcache_16.db, thumbcache_32.db, thumbcache_48.db, thumbcache_96.db, thumbcache_256.db, thumbcache_1024.db, thumbcache_sr.db, thumbcache_wide.db, thumbcache_exif.db (Windows 8);
