ViewSkater is a fast, cross-platform image viewer written in Rust & Iced. It aims to alleviate the challenges of exploring and comparing numerous images. Linux, macOS and Windows are currently supported.
- Dynamic image caching on CPU memory
- Continuous image rendering via key presses and the slider UI
- Dual pane view for side-by-side image comparison
Download the pre-built binaries from the releases page, or build it locally:
cargo run --release
If you'd like to see debug logs while running, specify the RUST_LOG flag:
RUST_LOG=view_skater=debug cargo run --release
Drag and drop an image or a directory of images onto a pane, and navigate through the images using the A / D keys or the slider UI. Use the mouse wheel to zoom in/out of an image.
In dual-pane mode (Ctrl + 2), the slider syncs images in both panes by default. You can switch to per-pane sliders by selecting the "Controls -> Controls -> Toggle Slider" menu item or pressing the Space bar.
- Arrow keys (Left / Right) or A / D: Show previous / next image
- Shift + arrow keys (Left / Right) or Shift + A / D: Render previous / next images continuously ("skate" mode)
- Tab: Show / hide the slider and footer UI
- Space: Toggle between single slider and dual slider
1and2keys: Select Pane 1 or Pane 2- Ctrl + 1 or 2: Toggle between single pane and dual pane mode
- Ctrl + W: Close all panes
- Ctrl + Q: Exit
ViewSkater's slider UI was inspired by the open-source project emulsion.
