It supports a wide range of formats, such as ZIP, BMP, PNG, JPG, TIFF and GIF, and at each launch the program displays the built-in mouse operations which you can use in order to navigate with more ease. Nevertheless, you should know keyboard shortcuts are also integrated and both can be customized with great ease.

This software utility can show or hide different tool bars, including one that displays a tree view of your hard drive and a list of opened files. The color of the background can be changed, as well as the language and stretch mode, from quality to fast.
