<h2>Image Viewer .NET control with powerful features</h2>
<p>Better Thumbnail Browser is a WinForms control for displaying and loading (mostly) <strong>image thumbnails</strong>. Thumbnails are viewed in <strong>listview-like image gallery</strong>.</p>
<p>Viewing and loading image thumbnails is a sophisticated task, so this .NET control does these things for you, right out of the box:</p>
<ul class="common">
<li><strong>View images in any folder on HDD</strong></li>
<li><strong>Load images from any source you want</strong> (including database) with minimum coding needed.</li>
<li><strong>Load thumbnails on background</strong>. All the thread operations and thread synchronization are performed automatically.</li>
<li><strong>Resize images with high-quality image resampling</strong>.</li>
<li><strong>Optimized order of loading of images</strong> - allows loading the thumbnails in view first, then all other thumbnails in the predefined order.</li>
<li><strong>Supports starting, pausing and restarting the image loading</strong> on demand.</li>
<li><strong>Smooth thumbnail zooming</strong> on the fly (e.g. using a mouse-wheel)</li>
<li><strong>Completely flicker-free</strong>, optimized, and smooth</li>
<li>Super-customizable: <strong>Set shadows, borders, padding, spacing of all elements</strong></li>
<li><strong>Grouping of images</strong> - create customizable collapsible groups of thumbnails</li>
<li>Supports <strong>multi-line text</strong>, both in image items and column headers</li>
<li><strong>Inbuilt sorting with multi-column sorting</strong> support</li>
<li>Supports <strong>checkboxes</strong> (both 2-state or 3-state)</li>
<li>Customizable <strong>tooltips</strong> on all elements</li>
</ul>
<p>Because Better Thumbnail Browser inherits from feature-rich
<a href="/better-listview">Better ListView</a>, it is
feature-packed and supports many advanced features that no other thumbnail
control can offer (for example: Multi-column sorting, Multi-line text, Groups,
Three-state checkboxes and many more).</p>
<p>It is the ultimate image loader, viewer and browser control for .NET.</p>
<h2>Cut development time by up to 50%</h2>
<p>The biggest advantage of Better Thumbnail Browser control for .NET is that it saves you development time.</p>
<p>For many projects where GUI is important, Better Thumbnail Browser can significantly cut development time. The complex logic of loading, displaying and viewing the thumbnails is done automatically for you. This not only saves you time, but also provides the end-user with a smooth, polished experience with no flickering or glitches - if you were to implement such polished experience yourself, it would be a considerable investment.</p>
<p>Furthermore, you will save time thanks to many inbuilt features that work out of the box, such as sorting or item reordering.</p>
<p>Also, full designer support allows you to do many customizations with zero code.</p>
<p>Better Thumbnail Browser comes with numerous samples with full source
code, and with <a href="/better-thumbnail-browser/documentation.html">
excellent documentation</a> with examples.</p>
<p>Finally, optional Priority support can be <a href="/pricing-licensing/better-thumbnail-browser">purchased with the Better Thumbnail Browser</a> control, which entails you to custom code samples and more.</p>
