English term or phrase: thumbnail
Definition from American University of Beirut:
A small representation of a picture on a Web page, usually containing a hyperlink to a full-size version of the graphic. Thumbnails are used to load pages rich in graphics or pictures more quickly in a Web browser.

Example sentence(s):
  • Thumbnails can be created in any existing folder or a new folder, and you can identify them clearly by adding a prefix or suffix to their filename. Easy Thumbnails
  • Suppose you want to have a bunch of thumbnail images that link to larger versions of the images - a fairly common type of web page. REAL WORKD STYLE
  • Ideally, you would want your thumbnail images to be considerably smaller than your main images. If your images are too large, it defeats the purpose of having a quick-loading preview of all the images. kIRUPA.COM

pienoiskuva


Definition from Atk-sanakirja:
Kuvan tai sivun näkyvä esitys pienennettynä ja usein vain olennaisilta osiltaan esitettynä. Pienoiskuva toimii usein linkkinä varsinaiseen kuvaan tai tiedostoon.

Example sentence(s):
  • Pienoiskuvat ovat käteviä, koska ne latautuvat nopeasti, helpottavat sivustolla liikkumista, eivätkä vie paljon tilaa. Tavallisesti linkitetty alkuperäisiin kuviin, niin että pienoiskuvaa napsauttamalla saa näkyviin täysikokoisen kuvan - LFE Uni-Muenster

Example sentence(s):
Explanation:
Even though "pienoiskuva" is used in the IT dictionary, the fact that "pikkukuva" is used by Microsoft and Google is enough to ensure that it will become/remain the most used Finnish term for thumbnail.
