QIDI proprietary thumbnail format
This looks like it might even be closer to a full solution. It is built to find and parse the PNG and convert it into the MKS style: https://github.com/Molodos/ElegooNeptuneThumbnails-Prusa/blob/main/elegoo_neptune_thumbnails.py . I'm an M-series Mac so I can't easily test it since it seems to include x86 libraries only. It looks like the "new" model printers would be using the Qidi process. It might need changes relating to the thumbnail sizes as well.

A much easier proposition is to install Orca Slicer and forgo all of the above editing. You can also add the preview image of your prints using https://github.com/Molodos/ElegooNeptuneThumbnails-Prusa and adding a line to your post processing script field (process section on the other tab) that points to that executable like this:
