# representationTypes

The thumbnail sizes that you provide for a thumbnail request.

```
var representationTypes: QLThumbnailGenerator.Request.RepresentationTypes { get }
```

## Discussion

The representation types provide access to icon, low-quality, and high-quality thumbnails so you can request and show a lower-quality thumbnail quickly while computing a higher-quality thumbnail in the background.
