Methods and apparatus for thumbnail scaling based on display pane size. A computer-implemented method includes displaying a display pane and an image scaling tool on a display device. The display pane is subject to resizing and is displayed at a current width and height. The image scaling tool has two or more selectable positions. The method includes receiving one or more thumbnails. The method includes designating one of the thumbnails to be a reference thumbnail. The reference thumbnail is an image having a particular aspect ratio. The method includes calculating a maximum display width and height at which the reference thumbnail, without being cropped or having its aspect ratio altered, can fit in the display pane. The method includes calculating, for a first of the selectable positions, a target display width and a target display height, the calculation being based on the maximum display width height of the reference thumbnail.
