Need to make thumnail previews of websites.

Factual Questions
1

Hi all,

I need to make a thumbnail preview of a web page. Are there any websites that allow you to type in the URL and create a thumbnailed image of a web page “on the fly?”

Alternatively, any free software around that can do this?

I’ve already tried thumbshots.org (site needs to be in DMOZ) and Alexa.com (site needs to be in Alexa and half of the images are outdated.)
Also, I’ve tried screen capturing, etc., and also image re-sizing but the image quality is just terrible.

As always, any help is appreciated. Thanks,

-NB

You can use the MSN search engine to do it

(Open in Internet Explorer, it doesn’t work in Firefox)

Thanks Peter. MSN seems to be able to capture only certain sites - unfortunately no preview is available for others (ie, the ones I need!)
