PolyView

Note: PolyView is no longer supported, so it is now impossible to purchase the application. Nonetheless, you can still download it from Softpedia and use it with the limitations listed on this page.

PolyView is a program which enables you to view and convert image files. It can be easily used by individuals of any experience level.

The interface of the application is simplistic and intuitive. You can import photographs by using either the file browser or "drag and drop" method.

You can convert images between various formats, including BMP, GIF, PNG and JPEG, create animated GIFs, as well as create and organize a favorites list.

But you can also locate duplicates, manage keywords associated with the current picture, mark and unmark images.

You can zoom in and out, switch to full screen mode, view histograms, create slideshows and open slideshow scripts.

You can flip, rotate, mirror and crop images, duplicate, change the size, deinterlace, save the color map, select a transparent color and change the color depth of pictures, as well as apply various effects (e.g. brightness, contrast, hue, sharpen, blur, emboss).

PolyView also lets you use a magnifier, remove scratches, create or modify text, use the undo and redo functions, view image properties, register file types, change background colors, customize the toolbar, assign a program password, and more.

The program runs on a low-to-moderate amount of system resources, includes comprehensive help file with snapshots and didn't freeze, crash or pop up errors during our tests. Its response time is very good. PolyView is a pretty good tool when it comes to viewing, converting and modifying images and we strongly recommend it to all users.
