Fly Photos is a lightweight Windows image viewer designed as a modern alternative to the discontinued Picasa Photo Viewer. Built with WinUI 3, WinRT, and Win2D, it provides fast startup and smooth image navigation. Its caching system enables rapid browsing through folders containing thousands of photographs. The application supports JPEG, PNG, TIFF, camera RAW, PSD, HEIC, AVIF, SVG, and animated image formats. Users can zoom, rotate, and navigate photos using customizable keyboard shortcuts, mouse controls, and touchpad gestures. A metadata panel displays EXIF information and camera details. Visual settings include transparent backgrounds, Mica, Acrylic, and dark themes. Fly Photos integrates with File Explorer and supports Windows 10 and newer.
