Local Image File Viewer Extension

Ever open a file:/// image from your local file system explorer only to find that you want to view the next and previous image in the directory with ease?

Well now you can. Install the extension and visit it's options page for more details about how it works!

chrome-extension://lhlckkgdiojkapplglfeomlkjllphilo/about.html

Note - you have to manually allow access to file URLs once the extension is installed, similar to how you might allow extensions in incognito mode.

Enjoy!

Fullscreen Slideshow Steps:
1) From options set body CSS to background-color:black;
2) Consider checking the option to reduce flicker if URL bar matters not
3) On windows press F11 to enter fullscreen, on mac press Command+Shift+F

( note: version 0.19 contains a bug where the save button will seem to save formats other than PNG. It does not - all files saved with this version are PNGs. Version 0.20 will save JPGs in addition to PNGs. )

RJ (ID: 000000b4145c3408) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/18/2023 wish there was a thumbnail file view and scroll for going to next or previous image!

icon

Glenn Ramalho (ID: 00000061ffda4ce6) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/19/2022 Very simple, easy to use, and works with videos too.

Angel Gzz Hernández (ID: 000000bc00fcedd0) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/31/2022 Works perfect on Edge. Simple and it just works. Exactly what I needed.

Mario Kotlar (ID: 00000080670ba6c5) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/08/2022 Seems to work perfectly! Lifesaver given that most image viewers out there are full of bloat and aren't even color managed. And it gets bonus points for supporting custom formats by typing their extension in the plugin options menu.

Ben Groeneveld (ID: 000000195450e5e4) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/15/2021 Works as advertised. Simple, reliable.
