ABSTRACT:
Systems and methods are disclosed for providing access to a thumbnail image that is embedded within an image file along with a corresponding main image. An exemplary method involves receiving a request from a client for the thumbnail image. The thumbnail image is retrieved from an image host. The entire image file is not retrieved from the image host. The thumbnail image may be sent to the client. Alternatively, the thumbnail location information may be sent to the client. Retrieving the thumbnail image from the image host may involve identifying a location of the thumbnail image within the image file, and retrieving data from the image file corresponding to the location.
