YACReader – read, browse and manage your comic collection

YACReader is a free cross-platform comic reader with support for multiple comic files and image formats. It’s fast and easy to use.

The usual way to read a comic with YACReader is press ‘O’ to open a comic, and then use ‘Space’ and ‘B’ for autoscrolling pages, you can use ‘UP’, ‘DOWN’ or ‘Mouse Wheel’ too, when you reach page limit (top or bottom) next page is loaded automatically, moreover, you can go to next or previous page using ‘RIGTH’ and ‘LEFT’.

Jumping between pages is possible using “Go To…” dialog (‘G’ key) or “Go To Flow” widget (‘S’ key). You don’t have to wait until all pages are loaded to use these functions, because pages are shown as soon as they are ready.

YACReader loads all comic compressed images in memory, when it needs to show one page, only that one is rendered. Since all pages are in memory YACReader uses approximately the same RAM as the comic size, so take care if you want to view huge comics with YACReader (comics larger than your RAM).

The “Go To flow” widget needs to render only the images which will be shown, doing it in a lazy way to reduce memory consumption, in any case, it takes a significant amount of RAM (RAM consumption depends on how many images and how larger are them). So, if you don’t have enough RAM, please, reduce ‘Slide’ size on the ‘Options’ dialog.

YACReader is released under an open source license.
