Used to be Mac's best image viewer. It's fast, responsive and handles all kind of image formats.

The downside is it's development stops when it's owner sold it to other developer. And never updated since 2017. Multi monitor support are bugged since Mojave. And Big Sur M1 pretty much killed it. I hope it's development get's picked up again.

Dont buy the app-store version but the one offered from their site, as it is not sandboxed (has more features).

This has all the features i was lacking in OSX's Preview app, like sliding to prev/next image in the folder and tons of little extras.

Well worth the 4 $ i paid for it :O

As the title states, this is my favorite image viewer. It is simple, not bogged down by settings, it is the fastest way I have found to blaze through images, skip in increments when I'm wading through bursts, delete images I KNOW have no hope of making the final cut, rotate and losslessly save images all through quick keyboard shortcuts, that's all I want really, and this provides that.

I love not having to deal with lightroom or similar library based applications. It is smart enough where if you delete pictures in the Finder while looking at a picture, Xee will reload automagically with the first picture available that is remaining in the directory. It is awesome. I've been using macs, windows, linux (arch linux, elementary os, ubuntu, fedora, etc etc) since I was a kid back in the day when I was playing Glider Pro. This one is my favorite out of all the image viewers I've tried, and I've tried many (admittedly not all, there are too many). I hope you'll give this one a try, it's simple and $4 is not a whole lot to ask for to continue development and support the developer.

What is Xee?

Xee is an streamlined and convenient image viewer and browser. It is similar to macOS's Preview.app, but lets you easily browse the entire contents of folders and archives, move and copy image files quickly, and supports many more image formats. It also shows animation for formats which support this.

It is designed to take full advantage of touch controls, allowing you to swipe through images in a folder one by one. You can of course also zoom and rotate files using multi-touch gestures.

Xee can also display huge amounts of metadata from image files. For this, it uses Image::ExifTool, one of the most comprehensive metadata libraries.

Loading images directly from archive files is also possible, and Xee works very well as a comic book reader.

Xee offers multiple visual styles. This allows you to, for instance, pick one which is less distracting while sorting through photos.
