SnapView
A Mac image viewer for FastStone-style folder browsing.
SnapView is not affiliated with FastStone. It is a macOS image viewer for users who want direct folder browsing, keyboard movement, and practical review tools on Mac.
For users moving from Windows image viewers to Mac
If you are used to opening a folder and moving through images quickly, SnapView gives that workflow a Mac-native home without asking you to import everything into a library first.
Multiple review views
Main, Grid, Filmstrip, Navigator, and Pro Layout views give different levels of context for the same image set.
Mac handoff
Use Finder tags, drag selections, XMP-backed ratings and flags, Quick Organize, and Batch Actions to continue outside the viewer.
Broad format coverage
Review RAW, HEIC, WebP, GIF, TIFF, PSD, JPEG 2000, DICOM, EXR/HDR, TGA, ZIP archives, and supported videos.
FastStone expectations, Mac workflow
FastStone Image Viewer is known by many Windows users for practical folder browsing. SnapView is a separate Mac app with its own interface, distribution, and feature set. The overlap is the workflow intent: open a folder, move through images, compare, mark, and organize.
