JarkViewer is a lightweight, lightning‑fast image viewer for Windows 10/11 (64‑bit) that supports a wide range of modern image formats, from traditional JPEG/PNG to newer types such as AVIF, HEIC, JPEG XL, and various RAW files. It is designed as a native portable application with fully static linking, distributed as a single executable with no separate installer, making it simple to run from any folder or removable drive.

The viewer handles static images, animated formats (GIF, animated WebP/PNG/APNG/JXL/AVIF), and special “live” photo types such as iOS Live Photos (.livp) and Android Motion Photos/Micro Videos, although audio playback for live photos is not yet supported. It also supports a broad set of RAW formats from various camera manufacturers, allowing photographers to browse their libraries without converting to JPEG first.

Features

  • Broad modern format support Handles JPEG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, HEIC, JPEG XL, PSD, SVG, and many RAW formats, as well as animated formats and iOS/Android live photos.
  • Lightweight and portable Delivered as a single statically linked executable with no installer; can run directly from any folder or USB drive on Windows 10/11 64‑bit.
  • Fast, efficient navigation Supports keyboard shortcuts and mouse gestures for quick switching, zooming, rotating, panning, fullscreen toggling, and frame‑by‑frame animation browsing.
  • Built‑in editing and print modes Offers basic adjustments (contrast, brightness, inversion) and specialized color modes for printing documents or dithered output for dot‑matrix/thermal printers.
  • AI‑image metadata awareness Reads and displays prompt parameters and workflow information embedded in images from Stable Diffusion WebUI and ComfyUI, where preserved.
  • Live photo and RAW support Smoothly browses iOS Live Photos and Android Motion Photos, and supports a wide range of camera RAW formats, making it suitable for both mobile and photography workflows.
