FastStone Image Viewer is a program for viewing images on Microsoft Windows OS. It includes a built-in file thumbnail manager and database, and can also be used as an image manager. For non-commercial use, FastStone Image Viewer is free. For commercial purposes, a license purchase is required.
Main Features
Includes viewing, managing, and comparing images; removes red-eye effect; sends via email; cropping, resizing; performs batch processing, renaming; enhances colors, space color management; lossless JPEG rotation, thumbnail databases (cache); and a customizable magnifier previously unavailable from competitors.
Original slideshow features include musical slideshows with 150 transition effects. Added functions for working with memory cards. The program supports major graphic formats (CUR, BMP, ICO, GIF, JPEG 2000, JPEG, WMF, PNG, PCX, PSD, TIFF, TGA) and Raw formats for popular cameras (CR2, CRW, PEF, NEF, RAF, ORF, SRF, MRW, and DNG).
User-Friendly Interface
The application interface has two functional areas: a full-screen viewing and editing interface for images, and a file and gallery management manager. Double-clicking any image automatically opens the viewing and editing interface.
Toolbars are hidden; to expand them, move the mouse cursor to one of the screen edges.
This feature provides a faster and more efficient way to control changes and manage photos in a folder. Other utilities for interacting with and processing images can be launched from within the program.
Program Features
It is often necessary to work not with a single image, but with a numerous catalog of images simultaneously. To avoid manually applying the same parameters to images, the program allows batch conversion: changing quality, size, and extension.
Functional conversion is one of the main reasons for choosing the program as a desktop editor.
Creating slideshows with the application is achieved with maximum quality, thanks to the ability to overlay numerous effects and soundtracks without using auxiliary music applications.
Essentially, FastStone Image Viewer is a simplified image editor used for cases where powerful tools are not needed.
It is used for quick image processing and bringing them to a common denominator in one way or another. The application allows basic photo correction, as well as viewing and manipulating files. It is well suited for computers with low performance.
