A private image viewer that never uploads your photos.
Image Viewer is a free, private photo slideshow that runs entirely in your web browser. Point it at a folder, build a library, and play a clean fullscreen slideshow — every picture stays on your computer. Nothing is uploaded, nothing is saved, and closing the tab erases it all. No install, no account.
Opens instantly · Nothing to install · No sign-up · Works in Chrome, Edge & other Chromium browsers

The whole app runs in a browser tab — here is what you get.
Why it's genuinely private
Privacy isn't a setting here — it's how the app is built.
Your photos never leave
Images are read straight from your disk into the page's memory and shown locally. There is no server that receives them — there is nothing to upload.
Fullscreen slideshow
Adjustable timer, shuffle, arrow-key navigation and scaling options. Stop on any frame and stay fullscreen, or press Escape to exit.
Nothing left behind
Pictures live only in memory and are released the instant you clear or close the tab. A live ledger and a one-click "verify revoke" test prove it.
How it works
Three steps, zero setup.
Open a folder or add files
Click "Browse Folder" or "Add Files" and pick the pictures on your computer you want to view. They load instantly into the page.
Set timer and shuffle
Choose how many seconds each photo shows and turn shuffle on or off. Pick a scaling mode so every image stays sharp and undistorted.
Play the slideshow
Hit "Start Slideshow" for a clean fullscreen show. Close the tab when you're done and every picture is gone — nothing was uploaded or saved.
Frequently asked questions
Is Image Viewer really private — are my photos uploaded?
No. Your photos are never uploaded. Image Viewer reads pictures directly from your disk into the browser tab's memory and displays them locally. There is no server that receives your images, so there is nothing to upload and nothing to leak.
Do I need to install anything or create an account?
No install and no account. Image Viewer runs entirely in your web browser — just open the page and use it. There is nothing to download and no sign-up.
Which browsers does it work in?
It works in Chrome, Edge and other Chromium-based browsers, which support the File System Access API used to open folders. It works on desktop computers running Windows, macOS or Linux.
Can it run a fullscreen slideshow with a timer and shuffle?
Yes. You can set how many seconds each photo shows, toggle shuffle, navigate with the arrow keys and choose how images scale. Press Escape to leave fullscreen at any time.
Does anything get saved to my computer?
Nothing is saved. Pictures live only in the tab's memory and are released the moment you clear the library or close the tab. A live ledger and a one-click "verify revoke" test let you confirm it.
Is Image Viewer free?
Yes, Image Viewer is completely free to use. If it saves you time, an optional tip is always appreciated but never required.
