Convert PNG to THM

Curious about PNG to THM? Here's what THM actually is — and why there's nothing to convert.

There's no real "convert PNG to THM" — a THM file is simply a JPEG thumbnail a camera writes alongside a photo or video.

About THM files

1

THM is a JPEG with a different extension

A .thm file is a small JPEG thumbnail cameras save next to a photo or video so devices can preview it quickly. Its contents are identical to a JPG — only the extension differs.

Nothing needs converting to it

Because THM is created automatically by the camera, there's no use case for turning a PNG into one. If you have a THM, just rename or convert it to .jpg to view it.
