PixelViewer
See every pixel.
Sense every shade.
A cross-platform image viewer that supports reading raw Luminance/YUV/RGB/ARGB/Bayer pixel data from files and rendering them.

What's Changed in 2026.0
- Added support for pinch gesture on touchscreen and touchpad to zoom image.
- Added support for flipping image horizontally and vertically.
- Added ARGB Color Format setting to display the selected pixel color as Source Image Bit Depth, 8-Bit (0-255), or Normalized [0.0, 1.0].
- Added support for applying the system text size to selected parts of user interface on Windows and macOS.
- Improved metadata reading to correctly handle all EXIF/TIFF orientation values, including those that encode flip.
- Improved selected pixel color readout to show RGB(...) instead of ARGB(...) when the source image has no alpha channel.
