There are lot of plugins available for Thumbnails creation like FFMPEG for videos, ImageMagick for Images, Gostscript for PDF etc.

But Alfresco doesn't have API's for thumbnails creation instead provides plugin's for thumbnails creation.

For which content type you want to create Thumbnails?

Regards,
Mahesh

Alfresco supports file content transformers.

The ones supplied OTB can deal with the MS formats.

There's no SOAP API. However there are REST, Java and Java Script APIs to thumbnailing.
