About Fast Image Viewer
A powerful image viewer built from the ground up with highly optimized code especially adept at viewing large bitonal images (e.g. engineering drawings, well logs, etc). Unlike competing products, FIV does not require importing images to local storage and does not need to create any temporary data on your device. It can access images in your camera roll and all supported cloud storage services and open them directly with no delays. Priced fairly, fully functional and no in-app purchases. PDF support is limited to scanned images such as FAXes, not text or vector graphics. This is useful if you know your PDF file contains scanned images because FIV can view and navigate it much quicker than other PDF viewers. FIV is great at viewing large black & white scanned images. Unique technology allows for incredibly fast decoding and readable scale-to-gray (anti-aliased) views. Navigate between pages/files in milliseconds even on less powerful phones.
