Simplify Your Procreate Projects on Windows!

Finding your Procreate projects on Windows can be a hassle. Even with proper naming and organization, nothing beats being able to see a preview of your work.

That’s where the Procreate Thumbnail Handler comes in!

This plugin allows you to view your Procreate projects directly in Windows Explorer, making it easier than ever to identify your files at a glance.

Key Benefits:

• Easy Setup: Quick and straightforward installation process.
• Enhanced Workflow: Avoid the frustration of opening the wrong project.
• Seamless Integration: View thumbnails of your projects right in Windows Explorer.

Installation (v0.2 +)

Note: If you have already installed the previous version (v0.1), it's not recommended to install this one, since they're functionally the same.

1. Download procreate-winthumb-0.2.0-x86_64.msi from your Gumroad library.
2. Double‑click and follow the installer wizard (Universal setup, Windows  10 &  11 are supported).
3. When setup finishes, restart File Explorer (or just reboot) so Windows loads the new handler.

That’s it—no more shady batch files or manual edits.

Frequent issues

Not all thumbnails are displayed: Windows sometimes hangs onto a stale thumbnail cache. Fix:

1. Open Disk Cleanup.
2. Select your system drive and tick Thumbnails.
3. Click OK to purge, then reboot. File Explorer will rebuild the cache and all thumbnails should appear.
