View a file without the app that made it
Someone sends you a .heic, a .psd, a .cr2 — and nothing on your machine will open it. These viewers decode the format in your own browser and just show you the picture: no Photoshop, no Lightroom, no codec pack, and no upload.
Your file never leaves your device — viewing runs in your browser. 0 bytes uploaded.
What a viewer shows you — and what it doesn't
A viewer is read-only. It opens the file with the same decoders that power IntactFile's repair engines, draws the image into the page, and prints a few honest facts about it — dimensions, and for a PSD its colour mode and bit depth. It never rewrites the file, never produces a converted copy, and never uploads: the render is built entirely in your browser, which you can confirm with the Network tab open.
Being read-only sets real limits, and we state them. A PSD viewer shows the flattened composite the file stores, not your editable layers, masks or text; a RAW viewer renders the full-size JPEG the camera embedded, which is the camera's own rendition rather than a fresh development of the sensor data; a HEIC viewer depends on the browser being able to decode HEVC, so it renders on Apple devices and on Windows with the HEVC codec, and says so honestly where it can't. When you want a file to keep, not just a look, theconverters re-encode any of these to JPG or PNG.
When the file won't render
If a file won't display, it isn't always the format's fault — it may be genuinely damaged: a truncated download, a card pulled mid-write, a header knocked out of shape. When a decoder hits that, these viewers say so plainly instead of showing a blank frame, and they link straight to the matchingrepair tool, which rebuilds the container around the data that survived. See it if it opens; repair it first if it doesn't.
The viewers
AVIF viewer
AVIF · AV1 image
Decodes the AV1-coded image natively and renders it with its real dimensions. No install and no account — and if you want a copy afterwards, the AVIF converters turn it into JPG or PNG.
HEIC viewer
HEIC / HEIF · HEVC image
Opens iPhone HEIC/HEIF photos where the browser can decode HEVC (Safari and Apple devices, or Windows with the HEVC codec), with an honest fallback everywhere else and a repair link when the container is damaged.
PSD viewer
Photoshop PSD
Rebuilds and renders the flattened composite a PSD stores, and reports its dimensions, colour mode and bit depth — without Photoshop. It shows the merged image, not editable layers, masks or text.
RAW viewer
CR2 · NEF · ARW · DNG
Renders the full-size JPEG preview the camera embedded in the RAW, so you can see the shot without Lightroom. It's the camera's rendition, not a fresh development of the sensor data — fast, and true to what the camera showed.
