+
+*Source: `src/store/pic/getSmallThumbByHash.js`*
+
+Returns the small thumbnail image (AVIF, 40px max edge) for a given hash.
+
+**Parameters**
+
+| Name | Type | Description |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `googleAuthId` | `number` | The id of the Google auth user. |
+| `fullHash` | `string` | The full image hash. |
+| `[tx]` | `object` | Optional transaction to run within. |
+
+**Returns**
+
+`Promise<{buffer: Buffer, w: number, h: number, contentType: string}>` — The small thumbnail image.
+
+**Throws**
+
+`Error` — If the image is not found.
+
+**Example**
+
+```js
+const thumb = await store.pic.getSmallThumbByHash(42, 'abc123');
