Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
If you are making a thumbnail FROM a big picture, I don't know why it would turn out blurry!.

As the other answerers have said, if you take a small photo and blow it up, it would be blurry, but what you are asking is opposite of that!.

Taking a larger photo and shrinking it should not make it blurry!. Just open it in whatever editing program you like, and resize it to the desired thumbnail size!. Be sure not to copy over the original file when you save it though!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Short answer: you can't!. A thumbnail contains a small number of pixels!. It appears blurry when you enlarge it because the file is small and doesn't contain the necessary information to fill in the parts of the photo to make it crisp and clear!. It's like adding water to lemonade to make more of it!. The more watered down it is, the less it tastes like lemonade because there's only so much flavor in it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

simone is right!. You need a higher resolution image to make "bigger" pictures that are clear!. You obviously saved an image or thumbnail from an image you liked!. And now you want to post it or enlarge it!. You can't from the image you have, sorry!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
