I too have used ThumbsUp for since 2007 or so. I use it as 'Icons for Originals' in the prefs. Just drag img file onto the icon in my dock, then Get Info on Img, click and copy the preview icon, then can paste it into another file or folders Get Info icon. Even nicely closes itself. Several other options too!

Can this app create a icon thumbnail preview of an illustrator or eps file?

Have used this app (since it's inception) and gratefully I may add. Wonderful time saver! I'm so happy that the developer has updated it today! So grateful for his talent! Highly recommended‼️

ThumbsUp quality when downsizing jpegs for web without sharpening is just a bit worse than Preview or ResizeMe and significantly worse than PhotoBatcher at the same sizes. Visual comparison here: foliovision.com/2016/01/best-image-resizer Sharpening just makes matters worse. ThumbsUp does match Adobe Photoshop CS6 and JPEGmini both of which are significantly more expensive. On the other hand, the options are simple and the price is right. ThumbsUp is coded by DevonTechnologies so one can be sure the core is rock solid. A big thanks for excellent freeware.
