Exporting thumbnails instead of original files

[UtopianElectronics]

Is it possible to export thumbnails of media files instead of the original media files to save space and internet data usage?

I don't think it's possible to download only the thumbnail. It comes as a part of the full media download. Media (and thumb) download can be disabled fully though.

Media (and thumb) download can be disabled fully though.

How? Is it possible to get a referring link to them to be able to download them later?

download_media: False in config.toml. Telegram doesn't expose a download URL unfortunately.
