Open an image online, free
Drop in a JPG, JPEG, JPE, PNG, GIF, BMP, WEBP or AVIF file up to 25 MB and it opens in this tab. Nothing to install, and your image is deleted after viewing.
Drop the file
From your computer or your phone
We render it
On our server, so nothing installs on yours
You read it
And your copy is deleted when you close it
What happens after you upload
Zoom in until the pixels show, drag to pan around a photo larger than the window, rotate it, and print it at page scale. All of it runs in the browser you already have open.
Eight extensions go through the same box: JPG, JPEG, JPE, PNG, GIF, BMP, WEBP and AVIF. Two of them are why most people come looking — JPE, because almost nothing registers the extension, and AVIF, because on Windows the codec is a separate install.
The ceiling is 25 MB, several times a full-resolution phone photo and short of a large flatbed scan. Anything above it is refused at upload rather than half-rendered. Whatever you do upload is deleted after viewing.
Zoom in on detail
Enlarge a crop until individual pixels are visible, then drag to move around an image wider than your screen.
Color stays put
The picture is rendered from your original file, so the tones you see are the ones the camera or the editor saved.
Fix a sideways photo
Turn a photo the phone saved on its side back upright. Orientation lives in an EXIF tag that plenty of software ignores.
Read the EXIF
See what the camera wrote into the file — date, device, exposure — without opening a photo editor to find it.
Print it
Send the open image straight to a printer from the browser, scaled to the sheet.
Your file is deleted
The image is removed after viewing. It is not kept, not indexed, and not passed to anyone.
An image that will not open is nearly always a format your computer never learned. Windows wants a separate AV1 codec before Photos will show an AVIF. A .jpe is an ordinary JPEG wearing an extension almost nothing registers. Plenty of photo software predates WEBP and refuses it outright. Upload the file here — JPG, JPEG, JPE, PNG, GIF, BMP, WEBP or AVIF, up to 25 MB — and it renders in this page.
Once it is open you can zoom, pan, rotate and print, and read the EXIF block the camera wrote into the file: date, device, exposure. Then your image is deleted. That matters more with photographs than with documents, because a JPEG straight off a phone carries a timestamp and, if location was switched on, the coordinates.
These eight extensions are part of the 70+ this site opens, so the PDF, the DOCX or the PSD sitting in the same folder goes into the same box. If you are here because your own application has to display whatever images your users upload, that is a different problem and the Doconut SDK is the answer to it: 75 extensions across 18 families, rendered from .NET.
Image formats you can open here
Eight extensions, one 25 MB limit. Two of them — JPE and AVIF — are the ones desktop software most often refuses.
JPEG photo
What a phone camera saves. Lossy, small, and the format most likely to carry an EXIF block with the date and the camera inside it.
The same format, spelled out
JPG and JPEG are one format. The three-letter version is a leftover from DOS filenames; either extension opens here.
PNG, for transparency
Lossless, so screenshots and text stay sharp, and the one common format that keeps a transparent background instead of filling it white.
GIF, still or animated
Capped at 256 colors, which is why a photograph saved as a GIF comes back banded. It suits line art and short loops.
BMP, uncompressed
An old Windows format with no compression, so a modest picture can run to tens of megabytes. This is the one most likely to hit the 25 MB ceiling.
WEBP, saved from a browser
Most WEBP files on a desktop arrived by right-click Save Image. Smaller than JPEG at the same quality, and older photo software will not open it at all.
Frequently Asked Questions
Didn't find your answer in the FAQ? Contact our sales team
Is it safe to view my Image document online?
The upload travels over HTTPS, and your Image file is reachable only through a random identifier your browser holds and nothing links to. It is deleted once you have viewed it, which is the part that matters most.
Does Doconut store uploaded Image files?
It's important to note that we do not store uploaded Image files after processing. It gets deleted as soon as it is viewed. You are requested to avoid uploading invalid format, corrupt or infected documents here.
Are there any limits to using Doconut.app to view Image files?
One Image file at a time, up to 25MB. That ceiling is set per format, so another viewer here may take more or less than this page does.
PUT THIS VIEWER IN YOUR OWN APP
If you are building something that has to show whatever images your users upload, the Doconut SDK does server-side what this page does in a tab: 75 extensions across 18 families, rendered from .NET.
