This a thumbnail maker. Thumbnails are smaller versions of the original image/graphic/picture and are used for preview purposes, where bigger images can take a long time to load. They are also used in image galleries to preview a lot of images at a time.
This module also has the capability to add information strips about the original image. Original image's size (in bytes) and resolution & mime type can be added to the thumbnail's upper and lower parts. This feature can be useful for web software (image galleries or forums).
This is a Yet Another type of module. There are several other thumbnail modules on CPAN, but they simply don't have the features I need, so this module is written to increase the thumbnail population on CPAN.
Read the module's POD for documentation, examples and other information.
