Pixovar View is a fast, professional desktop image viewer that goes far beyond standard photo formats — opening everything from everyday JPEGs to the specialized formats VFX and CG pipelines actually use, like EXR, HDR, and PSD. It's not just a viewer either: full color adjustment, batch processing, layer compositing, and presentation tools are built right in.
Color space detection, bit depth, ICC profiles, and EXIF data, plus a live histogram and a pixel color inspector with a running palette.
Smooth zoom/pan, precise 4-way rotation, folder-aware previous/next browsing, edge-to-edge fullscreen, a side-by-side Compare slider, a Review Grid for scanning many images at once, and a Multi-Image Canvas for combining several images into one zoomable composite with ready-made collage layouts.
Crop, resize, and a full Lightroom-style Adjust panel — brightness, contrast, exposure, shadows/highlights, color temperature, tint, vibrance, curves, and more — plus a creative Effects set including vignette, fisheye, mosaic, oil paint, and watercolor.
A Clone Stamp and Smudge tool with adjustable brush feathering, text and watermarking for a single image or a whole batch, and a lightweight layer system for compositing PNG overlays onto gradients or photos.
Convert, rename, resize, or watermark many files at once, all from real native file dialogs — no scripting required.
Build a slide sequence with styled on-image text, present it fullscreen, or export straight to PowerPoint (.pptx) or PDF. Export images to PNG, JPEG, WEBP, BMP, TGA, TIFF, ICO, or SVG.
Pixovar View is free for individuals, freelancers, small studios and teams, students, and public-service organizations. Development is supported entirely by optional donations.
Larger organizations are asked to get in touch for a commercial license — email contact@magicpalettestudios.com.

Everyday formats like JPEG, PNG, GIF, WEBP, AVIF, BMP, ICO, SVG, and TIFF, plus the specialized formats CG and VFX pipelines rely on — TGA, HDR (Radiance), EXR (OpenEXR), and a composite preview of layered PSD files.
Both. Pixovar View is a full-featured viewer first, but it also includes a Lightroom-style Adjust panel, creative effects, cropping and resizing, a Clone Stamp and Smudge tool, watermarking, a lightweight layer system, and batch conversion — all in the same app.
