Online Service

The fastest path from a media URL to a production-quality thumbnail. No binary to download, no infrastructure to provision.

Quickstart

Section titled “Quickstart”
Terminal window
curl https://go.thumbrella.dev/thumb#https://example.com/media.jpg

That’s it. The response is a thumbnail-sized image ready to embed.

Setup steps

Section titled “Setup steps”
  1. Create a free account and collect your API token from the dashboard.
  2. Send a public media URL to the hosted endpoint — video, image, document, 3D, or anything else Thumbrella supports.
  3. Add authentication once your first response looks right:
Terminal window
curl \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <API_TOKEN>" \
  https://go.thumbrella.dev/thumb#https://example.com/media.mp4

What you get on the free tier

Section titled “What you get on the free tier”
  • Requests processed across the worldwide CDN edge network.
  • All media renderers: video frames, camera RAW, PDF pages, 3D previews, vector graphics.
  • Client-side caching instructions included in every response.
  • A personal dashboard to manage tokens and view usage.

The free tier is a fully functional starting point — not a trial. Upgrade when you need higher throughput, SLA guarantees, or dedicated infrastructure.
