Abstract
An image advertisement system of a computing device displays as part of a display page an advertisement-infused thumbnail of an image prior to displaying the image. The image advertisement system initially receives a display page with an indication of an image to be displayed as part of the display page. The image advertisement system generates an advertisement-infused thumbnail of the image by combining advertisement content with a thumbnail of the image. The image advertisement system then displays the display page with the advertisement-infused thumbnail of the image in place of the image. The image advertisement system then replaces the displayed advertisement-infused thumbnail with the image.
