FlashView

Browse 100,000 photos. At the speed of thought.·flashview.net

FlashView is a fast, lightweight photo viewer for Windows built for photographers who need to browse and cull huge photo archives at speed. It lets users scroll through thousands of RAW and JPEG photos in real time, rate and flag images with keyboard shortcuts, filter and compare shots, and export ratings as standard XMP metadata readable by Lightroom, Bridge, and Capture One. It works directly on folders with no catalog or database and runs entirely locally.
