Say Hello to Xee

Xee (pronounced xee) is a lightweight, fast and convenient Mac image viewer and browser. It is designed to be a serious tool for image viewing and management, with a sleek and powerful interface. Xee is useful as a more powerful replacement for Preview, or most any other image viewer available on Mac OS X. It is very fast, and uses less memory than most other image viewing tools. It also uses OpenGL to display and scroll images much more smoothly than other viewers. Its interface is highly streamlined and has easily configurable keyboard shortcuts.

Xee can:

  • Display a large number of image formats — any format QuickTime or Preview can open, plus several more, including PCX, Maya IFF and Amiga IFF-ILBM.
  • Easy browse through folders of images — open any file in a folder and use the toolbar, keyboard shortcuts or mouse wheel to view the other images in the same folder.
  • Losslessy rotate and crop JPEG images. This lets you edit your digital photographs without losing quality by recompressing them like most other editors do.
  • Effortlessly copy, move, rename and delete of images while viewing.
  • View more EXIF data for JPEG files than Preview.
  • View images in full-screen.

Xee is freeware, donations appreciated. Download it HERE.
