Represents a static image that appears on a watch face. This image represents
the first frame of the animation for a parent [`PartAnimatedImage`](https://developer.android.com/training/wearables/wff/group/part/animated-image/part-animated-image) element.

> [!CAUTION]
> **Caution:** If you don't specify this `Thumbnail` element for a parent `PartAnimatedImage` element, the watch face instead loads the first frame of a sibling [`AnimatedImage`](https://developer.android.com/training/wearables/wff/group/part/animated-image/part-animated-image) element, represented by that element's `thumbnail` attribute. This can be very slow.

Introduced in Wear OS 4.

## Syntax

```xml
<Thumbnail resource="string">
</Thumbnail>
```

## Attributes

The `Thumbnail` element has one required attribute, `resource`. This is a string
a string that represents an image resource ID.
