However you will be surprised at how many software out there can’t get such simple, straight-forward fundamentals right. It has to be fast, render images pleasingly, support multiple image formats and has a functional UI. The requirements for image browsing/viewing to achieve a satisfactory user experience are not terribly complicated. I use it primarily for image browsing and viewing, and will review it as such. The FastStone group describes this application as a browser-cum-editor-cum-converter solution. I do not want to get too technical or overly comprehensive here. It has only one downside that I will describe later, but I am as grateful as you can imagine I could be for discovering this piece of excellent free software. I will get to the conclusion right away – if you are looking for a fast, free and well-designed image viewer, just get this now. Not an ideal solution, as the rendering is not optimized and it is slower.Įventually I found FastStone Image Viewer. So for a while I was using NX-i for viewing JPEGs only, while using Windows Photos to view NEFs and TIFFs.
FastStone MaxView 2.2 is the LAST FREE VERSION.ĭownload: FastStone MaxView Installer (1.4 MB)ĭownload: FastStone MaxView Portable (1.5 MB)Īll other trademarks are the property of their respective owners.So after I upgraded to Windows 10 and ViewNX-i stopped rendering NEFs and TIFFs even though Windows Photos could. FastStone MaxView used to be free but later turned into a shareware, paid application. Other features include a high quality magnifier, a built-in slideshow with 150+ transition effects, MP3/WAV/MIDI/WMA background music, Digital camera RAW formats support, including CRW, CR2, NEF, PEF, RAF, MRW, ORF and DNG, many hotkeys for image navigation and manipulation and more. It includes an intuitive full-screen mode that provides quick access to EXIF information, undo, redo and mouse wheel support, lossless JPEG rotation and crop, internal editor that adds texts, arrowed-lines, highlights to images. It is a handy tool for quickly viewing, rotating, resizing, cropping, annotating and printing images.
FastStone MaxView is a fast, compact image viewer that supports all major graphic formats.
