You might be able to use a tool like https://thumbsviewer.github.io/ to open your thumbnail cache and extract it!

Otherwise I would probably have to write something using libsai just to extract the thumbnail if there is a need for it.

Interested in knowing how your sai file is corrupt though! Are Sai and Sai2 unable to open it?

Thanks for replying. I think there's an error on my drive. Sai 1 tells me "failed to open canvas". SAI2 opens it, but the image is damaged. The canvas has turned blank. However, the thumbnail image is still prefectly intact somehow. Thumbsviewer doesn't work because apparently the thumbnail image for SAi isn't in that folder.

Maybe I can release a standalone thumbnail extraction tool or general purpose dumping tool just for people trying to somewhat recover corrupt sai files.

Email me the .sai file and I can see what I can do!

Oh wow, thank you very much for the offer. I had given up it being recovered because I could only find PSD recovery softwares online. I'll send you the file.
