ImageFan Reloaded is a tab-based image viewer and editor designed for browsing individual pictures and larger collections. It combines extensive image format support with a conventional graphical interface and useful image editing tools.
The application is developed using C# and Avalonia. Its tabbed design allows several folders to remain open simultaneously, making it convenient to move between different image collections without repeatedly opening new application windows.
ImageFan Reloaded supports still images, animated formats and selected camera RAW files. It can also browse images inside archives without requiring users to extract every file first. Metadata inspection and image adjustments extend its usefulness beyond simple picture viewing.
The software is particularly suited to users who want an image viewer with integrated editing and organisational features while retaining a familiar desktop workflow.
This is free and open source software.
