FastStone Image Viewer enables you to view, convert, manage and edit photos. It supports a variety of formats, such as BMP, JPEG, JPEG 2000, PNG, GIF, TIFF, PCX, WMF, ICO, TGA and camera RAW files.

The most important adjustments you can make to your photos with FastStone Image Viewer are red-eye removal, resizing, emailing, cropping, retouching and color adjustments.

The first interesting thing you will notice about FastStone Image Viewer is the innovative full screen mode; it uses hidden toolbars which pop up when you take the cursor of your mouse at the four edges of the screen.

You can also enjoy a high-quality magnifying tool, lossless JPEG transitions, image annotation, drop shadow effects, musical slideshows with more than 150 transitional effects, scanner support, histogram and many other features.

FastStone Image Viewer allows you to access file properties easily, such as EXIF metadata, histogram etc. directly from the main screen of the application, instead of going to the file location and viewing properties after right-clicking on the file.

Other features of FastStone Image Viewer are file tagging, creating favorites, batch conversion, and building and splitting files with multiple pages of images (PDF, TIFF, animated GIF).
