Picser

Overview

Picser is a native macOS image viewer developed by Eric Cai (Soyotube). It lets you open folders directly to browse and manage images without importing them into a library. **Supported Formats** Picser supports JPEG, PNG, GIF, HEIC, HEIF, TIFF, WebP, AVIF, JPEG XL, and SVG. **Browsing & Viewing** Open images via panels, drag-and-drop, Finder, or the Dock. The app builds directory context for previous/next navigation, sorting, and folder browsing. View modes include a side list, bottom filmstrip, grid layout, plus scroll-wheel zoom, drag-to-pan, pointer-anchored zoom, and a minimap. Press Space for Quick Look; full-screen mode is also supported. Temporary rotation and flipping are available while viewing. **Editing & Exporting** The Pro version adds crop mode, custom aspect ratios, exporting after transforms, exporting crops, format selection, and overwriting the original file. The free version only allows temporary rotation/flipping during viewing and cannot export transformed results. **EXIF & Slideshow** The Pro version includes an EXIF side drawer showing camera settings, file formats, and image metadata, and can play the current image set as a slideshow. **Tagging System** Tagging covers editing, color labels, number-key shortcuts, autocomplete and suggestions, include/exclude filtering, smart filters, statistics, management, and data auditing. All tagging features are Pro-only. **Pricing** - **Free**: Free, includes core browsing features. - **Yearly Subscription**: US$3.99/year with a 7-day free trial, unlocks all Pro features. - **Lifetime License**: US$8.99 one-time purchase, identical features to the yearly plan.
