View PDF documents, SVG graphics, and raster images — PNG, JPEG, GIF, BMP, TIFF, WebP, ICO, and XPM. All rendered natively without external viewers.
Folder Swiping
Navigate through all supported files in a folder using Left/Right arrow keys. Fast visual browsing without a file manager.
Multi-Page PDF Navigation
Page Up/Page Down keys navigate pages within PDF documents. Page indicator shows current position.
Zoom Controls
Six predefined zoom levels — Fit Page, Fit Width, Fit Height, 50%, 100%, 200%. Accessible via dropdown menu in the toolbar.
Flexible Launch
Open with a file (starts navigating its folder), a folder (opens first file), or no arguments (shows file chooser). Drag-and-drop support.
Use Cases
