# Thumbnails
KlipperScreen can display thumbnails in the file browser and as previews in the print status.
![Job Status](img/panels/job_status.png)
Recommended sizes for thumbnails:
* 300 x 300 - For the larger previews.
* 32 x 32 - For the smaller thumbnails used in lists.
!!! note
Other sizes should work, but keep in mind bigger thumbnails are slower to load and can produce bigger gcode files.
