A client sends a PSD. A printer sends an EPS. A camera sends a DNG. None of them open on the machine you happen to be using, and buying a licence to look at one file is absurd. That is the gap this viewer fills, free and in the browser.
What it opens
Three viewers cover the ground between them, 25 MB per file:
- Common images — JPG, JPEG, JPE, PNG, GIF, BMP, WEBP and AVIF.
- Vector and raw — TIFF, TIF, SVG, WEBP, ICO, DNG, CDR, CMX, TGA, EPS, EMF, WMF and JP2.
- PSD — the Photoshop composite, with layer order, masks, blend modes and adjustment layers already applied. PSB, the large-document format, is refused.
What you get while looking
- Real resolution. Vectors redraw at any magnification instead of pixelating; raster files zoom to full pixel size.
- Colour handled properly. ICC profiles are applied, so print-prepared colour stays correct. CMYK and greyscale convert to RGB for display.
- Metadata beside the image. Dimensions, colour space and camera settings, read from the file itself.
- Layer lists where the format carries them. Layered CDR and TGA files list their layers to show and hide. TIFF does not: layers there are a Photoshop-only tag, so every reader shows the composite.
- Any device. Rendering happens on the server, so a tablet handles a large scan as well as a desktop.
Who it suits
Photographers — check a DNG or a delivered TIFF on a machine with no Lightroom.
Graphic designers — open a client's PSD, EPS or CDR to see what you have been sent before deciding what to do with it. PNG and JPG also convert to PDF, WebP or TIFF on the converter pages; PSD does not convert here.
Agencies — let a client open the proof without asking them to install anything. Be clear about what that does not include: there is no shared link and no comment thread, so each person opens the copy they have and feedback happens wherever it already happens.
Students and educators — review a reference or a portfolio file on a lab machine where nothing can be installed.
How to start
- Open the viewer for the format: common images, vector and raw, or PSD.
- Drop the file in, up to 25 MB.
- Zoom, pan, read the metadata. Close the tab and the upload is deleted.
Why this rather than installing something
No install, no update, no licence, no account, and nothing kept afterwards. What it is not: an editor, an organiser, or a place to store a portfolio. It renders the file and forgets it — which for the "can you take a quick look at this" case is exactly the right amount of software.
