ThumbsPlus keeps large photo collections organized in a searchable thumbnail database with built-in editing and batch processing.

ThumbsPlus is a handy photo database and editor that can be used for a variety of different reasons. It is actually built around a relational database, and it can easily be shared over a network. It directly supports Microsoft Access (the default) and SQLite databases, and the Professional and Network editions add client/server databases such as MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL and Microsoft SQL Server. 

The Professional and Network editions support all common digital camera raw formats, including Canon, Nikon, Kodak, Fuji, Sony, Pentax and Leica, as well as several scientific file formats.

Another useful feature is the ability to save screen and window captures automatically. A Metadata Batch Editor edits XMP, EXIF and IPTC data for many files at once. 

SQLite and client/server databases can store as many thumbnails as you have disk space for, and even the default Access database can hold millions of thumbnails when thumbnail data is moved to external files.

ThumbsPlus is shareware with a free trial and Standard, Professional and Network editions. It is no longer developed: build 4015 of version 10 SP2 was the final release, and the official website is offline.
