Such a simple function user experience that Windows Image Previewer is doing since XP, but Apple resists to adopt it.

Once you open any image in the folder, you should be able to scroll through the next and previous images using arrow keys.

Thats like 3 clicks painfully long process to what you can easily do with a single click.

So I was on a hunt to find an app that can build Windows like image browsing with simple arrow keys, and simple zooming features with maybe some additional features.

And your new Windows-like photo viewer PhotoX only defaults for that format.

So I opened another GET INFO tab, and set PhotoX as default previewer there.

Image Viewer Free Apps Like

There are other free apps like Xee, or paid ones with even better options for editing like Adobe Lightroom, but for most basic functionality I thought its ridiculous to pay for an app, that does nothing but scrolling through images.

To all windows user I highly suggest to use KrojamSoft PhotoViewerPro.

With the image you want to preview selected, hit the spacebar.

That will open a big floating preview window of the image and you can use your arrow keys to navigate to other images in the folder.

Image Viewer Mac Or Windows

Its way faster than opening a preview app on Mac or Windows.

But the arrow keys are not friendly way to navigate for people shifting from Windows.

Based on list view or thumbnail view, the arrow keys dont always work as swiftly in expected direction.
