A native desktop app for macOS and Windows, built with Rust and Tauri.Two-page spreads, a speedy file browser, and buttery-smooth controls.
Almost everything you need is free to use.
Browse images and jump between folders and archives without ever leaving PikaView's window.
Unlike most viewers, the arrow keys are mapped to folder navigation by default, so you can move between folders with a single keystroke. (Fully customizable.)
Shortcuts let you jump straight to the parent folder, or the next and previous item, even while an image is open.
Never touch the mouse — browse images and navigate folders entirely from the keyboard.
Show or hide the toolbar, file list, and other UI elements whenever you like.
When you just want to look at the picture, tuck away the extra chrome for a clean, focused view.
Powered by Rust and Tauri, PikaView is engineered to render images and turn pages without a hitch.
Assign more than one shortcut to the same action.
Customize your most-used commands to match how you actually work.
