Thumbnails

KlipperScreen can display thumbnails in the file browser and as previews in the print status.

Recommended sizes for thumbnails:

• 300 x 300 - For the larger previews.
• 32 x 32 - For the smaller thumbnails used in lists.

Note

Other sizes should work, but keep in mind bigger thumbnails are slower to load and can produce bigger gcode files.
