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!

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. )
Can you add the option to hide scroll bar (at least in fullscreen) . It is annoying to see scroll bar in fullscreen .
Thanks for this wonderful extension .
Best…………..But zoom has problem as space bar directly make it too big. I wish i can control zoom to somehow………Pls. try to add this update next time. And yes W S A D this key should also be added as an optional. And why ctrl + [ not working for zoom ] looks like there is some sort of bug, pls chk. it….Than you for creating this extension.
Buenísimo, un visor de imágenes locales para Chrome, por lo que permite enviar la pestaña al ChromeCast mientras sigues con otras cosas en el ordenador.
Love this, but I can’t figure out how to configure the URL to access a folder of images on an external [USB] drive? It’s my first time using file:///, and googling the syntax rules keeps sending me to Chromebook tutorials. Can you help? 🙂
WHY IS IT NOT WORKING WITH MY FILES IN \mnt? I have a secondary drive in my Ubuntu computer and this extension only works with images in \home. please fix it.
ps: ah nice, it works now, thanks
Seems to work perfectly! Lifesaver given that most image viewers out there are full of bloat and aren’t even color managed.
Simple yet seamless and efficient
lovely, exactly what i needed, also i made the photos open in chrome by default and it works flawlessly on windows 10
doesn’t work. it’s just a scam.
Glacially slow, and most of the time the arrows dont show up. The keys never worked.
Fastest Photo Viewer
Можно отключить эту надпись которая вылезает когда что-то работает не так?
Can I disable the text? One that pop ups when switching between pictures does not work.
“LOADING DIRECTORY Cancel Visit Directory” – this one.
Just make a switch, that turns it off forever
does what it says well, but why not Drive folders if coming from the Files App as well?
Why not add svg support !!!
awesome! works great and just what I needed to cast images live during an event.
Excellent, just what I need to do a slide show from my laptop onto my TV,
Great job! Perfect for casting the tab to Chromecast and thus casting local pictures in a slideshow.
perfecto. the mac preview for photos has been crashing. this is great alternative
useful for low spec old laptop
For fast and quick selection/overwiev of pictures it’s very practical especially when you have too many.great job thanks..
Simple and works well. Would be great to add support for raw files.
Everything you need to view just jpgs on camera sd card (i.e. skipping *.raw files). Fast, images rotated as needed, and there is zoom and scroll to check detail.
I’ve also tried local galley viewer but this is better as it rotates images as needed. I’m on chromebook btw. You can also zoom (spacebar) and then scroll (2 fingers on pad) to see small details on image. As well as this you can limit what file types it looks at. Chromebook default galley will just view all picture types which is a problem as I save *.raw and *.jpg. The raw files are big and galley chokes on them and runs sloooow. This extension is fast and just perfect for the job of viewing pictures on holiday when I just have a chromebook.
Nice viewer extension. Would like it to support panoramic rectilinear file formats with automatic spherical image viewing and panning.
