Where thumbnails live & your files stay put

Updated Jul 28, 2026 · 1 min read

Thumbnails are generated into a local cache. Your original model files are never modified, moved, or uploaded.

Meshory renders each model into a thumbnail and stores those thumbnails in a cache on your machine, kept separate from your models. Scanning, rendering, and organizing only ever read your files. Nothing is modified, moved, or uploaded. The one exception is explicit and yours: the Rename command renames a file or folder on disk, because you asked it to.

That separation is deliberate: it's why removing a source or clearing the cache never risks your actual models. If the cache is ever cleared, Meshory just re-renders from your files.
