qView for MAC

qView an image viewer that is minimalistic and easy to use. A viewer for image viewing. There are no toolbars or distractions. Pure space efficiency.

Simply beautiful

qView was created from the beginning to be visually minimal and as space-efficient as possible. There is no clutter, just your image with a titlebar.

Lightweight and fast

qView doesn't require you to wait to view an image. It opens almost instantly and switches images in a matter of seconds. This is all while using very little memory and CPU.

Fully-featured

Minimalism doesn't need to be compromised with features like animated GIF controls and file history.
