Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I'm Adem, the maker of BetterViewer.
I started BetterViewer back in 2021 because I was tired of how basic the browser's built-in image viewer is: you can zoom a little, and that's about it. Thousands of people have used it since, and the feedback over the years shaped this release.
When Chrome moved to Manifest V3, version 2 had to drop some features, including the one people loved most: images opening in BetterViewer automatically. So for 3.0 I rebuilt everything from scratch.
What's new in 3.0:
🖼️ Images you open in a tab open in BetterViewer automatically again
🎨 Real editing: crop, straighten, perspective, adjustments, levels & curves
✂️ AI background removal and text extraction (OCR), running on your device
✏️ Annotations: arrows, shapes, text, emoji, blur zones, spotlight and layers
⚡ Quick launch: press Ctrl+K to find any action
Everything runs locally, so your images stay on your device, and the project is free and open source.
You can try it right now without installing anything:

I'd love your feedback: what do you use your browser's image viewer for, and what's missing? I'll be here all day to answer questions. 🙏
