What you get
You can browse image folders, inspect details, and copy text from pictures.
Picview gives you a way to look through image folders without opening each file separately. Open one picture, then move through its folder and subfolders with arrow keys or trackpad swipes. You can zoom with your mouse wheel, filter by file type, and sort by capture time or size to narrow down what you see.
You can view common image formats alongside PSD and RAW files, check camera settings and other EXIF details, and correct orientation with basic rotate and flip tools. Fullscreen viewing hides controls, while a grid lets you browse several images at once. You can also run a looping or shuffled slideshow, or pin a reference image to your desktop.
When a picture contains something you need elsewhere, you can select and copy recognized text, translate it, or extract the main subject to paste into another app.
