Media Preview takes advantage of your computer’s power and offers it the tool it needs in order to provide you with the best previews.

One of the main advantages of this application is the fact that it offers support for all popular media formats.

By contrast, Windows provides previewing support only to media file formats developed by Microsoft or for QuickTime.

The preview functionality is not left aside anymore with this reliable and lightweight piece of software.

Additionally, Media Preview is extremely adaptable. It works on both 32-bit and 64-bit systems, which not all thumbnail extractors are capable of.

Media Preview can be used on any Windows version hassle free.

Media Preview is also smart; it doesn’t grab just the first frame of your media files, which may lead to black thumbnails; on the contrary, this piece of software has an in-built relevance detector which produces meaningful thumbnails.

Media Preview doesn’t disturb you while managing your files; other thumbnail extractors may bother you when you try to rename or move a file. Media Preview runs without interfering with the user’s activity and without causing errors.

Another advantage of Media Preview is preventing identical thumbnails and the default thumbnail extractor getting stuck with the same title sequence. Consequently, you will be able to extract a lot more information out of your thumbnails.

Media Preview is a smart application which takes care of an otherwise overlooked issue; it is intuitive and it knows what you expect from your thumbnails and at the same time it allows you to “beautify” your thumbnails using all kinds of options.

Not having thumbnails to preview my video files is an annoyance I've lived with for 6 months. Media Preview solved this problem in less than 6 minutes.

All video files (with all codecs) are now displaying thumbnails on all 3 of my drives.
