HEIC image viewer

The HEIC image viewer window extends its support to a wide range of image and photo formats, not limited to the HEIC file format. Featuring a user-friendly interface, it allows you to effortlessly view your photos, inspect image details, and execute various image-specific functions.

Viewing Images

In the Image Viewer, you have the flexibility to refine your image viewing experience. Load any image or photo file, and then adjust the zoom level to suit your preference. Easily navigate to other images within the same folder, or, if the image is in a multi-page format like TIFF, effortlessly flip through each page.

Multi-Page Image Navigation

For multi-page images, use the page control buttons, represented by chevrons on the toolbar, to navigate through different pages.

Image Folder Navigation

Effortlessly navigate through multiple images in the same folder without the need to repeatedly go through the Open File routine. After opening an image, use the left or right arrow keys on your keyboard to view images in sequence. Alternatively, you can utilize the “<” or “>” buttons located in the lower-right corner of the Image Viewer window to flip through the images.

Zooming

The Zoom controls can be found on the right side of the toolbar and offer various options to adjust the zoom level of the image. The buttons available are Zoom-in, Zoom-out, and Actual Size, along with the Zoom level combo control.

The Zoom level combo control displays the current zoom level setting and provides quick access to all zoom functions.

The Actual Size button displays the image at its original resolution, effectively setting the zoom level to 100%.

Lastly, the Fit Image button fits the image to the maximum available space within the viewer window, using either a fit-width or fit-height approach.

Rotate View

The Rotate feature allows you to rotate the current image by 90 degrees clockwise with just one click. It is important to note that this function only affects the display of the image and does not alter the actual content of the file. To make permanent changes to the orientation of an image, you will need to use a dedicated image editing software.

Printing

The photo printing feature in the Image viewer provides you with six distinct templates, each designed to produce the most popular photo print sizes. Whether you want a 4×6, 3.5×5, wallet, or full-page print, the Image viewer has got you covered.

  • Printer and Settings: Choose the desired printer for your printing job. Use the “Change Printer Settings…” option to customize printer options such as paper size, orientation, color settings, and printing quality.

  • Copies: Specify the number of copies you want to print of the current image.

  • Templates: The viewer offers six print templates for popular photo print formats, including wallet size, 4×6, 3.5×5, 5×7, 8×10, and Full-Page. The Full-Page template allows you to print a single photo on any size paper set by your printer.

  • Print Options:
    • Crop Image to Fit: This option allows you to maximize the printing area by cropping the width or height of the image so that the entire photo paper is filled with image content.

    • Rotate Image to Fit: You can maximize the printing area by rotating the image so that it fits the entire photo paper.

    • Show Printer Margin: This option is only for preview purposes and displays the printer’s margin with dotted lines to give you an idea of where they are. The lines will not be included in the final printed output.

Convert HEIC Images

The Image Conversion feature allows you to convert HEIC images to PNG, JPEG, GIF, and TIFF formats. You can access the conversion options by clicking the Convert button in the toolbar of the Image Viewer.

Convert a single image

To convert a single HEIC image, use the “Convert Image Files…” command. This allows you to convert the currently displayed image or select a different file for conversion.

Before proceeding, review and confirm the following settings:

  • Source File – Ensure the correct image is selected.
  • Destination Folder – Choose where to save the converted file.
  • Conversion Options – Specify the desired output format (PNG, JPEG, GIF, or TIFF) and adjust any available settings.

Batch Conversion

Use the “Batch Convert Image Files…” feature to convert multiple HEIC images from a folder at once. The settings are similar to single-image conversion, with one key difference—ensure you select the source folder containing all the images to be converted. The remaining settings, including the destination folder and output format, follow the same process as single-image conversion.
