Introduction

> Create thumbnails from your image and video files for your Node.js based application.

For generating thumbnails, this package uses imagemagick (for images) and ffmpeg (for videos) utilities, so make sure those are installed on your machine before using this package.

_Note: This module will always overwrite the thumbnail file, if already exists._
