About FastStone Image Viewer

FastStone Image Viewer has been the go-to Windows image browser for years. It combines a folder browser with a full-screen viewer, basic editing and batch conversion in one program, and it is genuinely quick even on large folders.

It handles BMP, JPEG, HEIC, WebP, GIF, PNG, PCX, PDF, PSD, TIFF, WMF, ICO, TGA and camera raw files, with viewing, management, side-by-side comparison, red-eye removal, emailing, resizing, cropping, colour adjustments and a slideshow with music.

It is free for personal use only. The related FastStone Capture is a separate paid product, and commercial use of the Viewer requires a licence.
