UltraCart will automatically create thumbnails for common image formats (jpg, gif, png) whenever you upload an image to an item's multimedia gallery (Home Item → Item Management Items → Items → [Select an Item]. Whenever you make a change an an item's multimedia gallery, fresh thumbnails are scheduled. If you change the Image URL (a deprecated feature), a thumbnail is also scheduled.
