What is a .JPG_THUMB file?
A .JPG_THUMB file is a small picture, known as a thumbnail, that someone using the Google Chrome internet browser has saved from Twitter. This type of file is actually just a regular .JPG image, which is a common format for pictures. However, when someone downloads a small version of an image from Twitter using Chrome, it gets saved with an extra bit in its name: ".jpg_thumb" instead of just ".jpg".
To open and view a .JPG_THUMB file, you can use any program that lets you look at pictures or browse the internet. But first, you need to change the file's name slightly. You do this by removing "_thumb" from the end of the file name, so it ends in ".jpg" again. Once you've done that, the file is just like any other picture file, and you can open it with image viewers (like the Photos app on Windows or Preview on Mac) or even with a web browser (like Google Chrome, Firefox, or Safari).
In summary, to open a .JPG_THUMB file: 1. Find the file on your computer. 2. Change its name by removing "_thumb" from the end, so it ends with ".jpg". 3. Open the renamed file with any program that can view images or with a web browser.
