FastRawViewer is a fast, lightweight image viewer and culling tool designed specifically for photographers working with RAW files. It supports a wide range of camera RAW formats from Canon, Nikon, Sony, Fujifilm, Panasonic, Olympus and other major manufacturers, as well as DNG, JPEG and other standard formats. The app excels at rapid image review and sorting — photographers can quickly browse thumbnails, mark images for later, apply star ratings and flags, and export culling decisions back to Lightroom or other workflows. It is commonly used in the field on laptops during shoots or at home on desktop machines to manage large image libraries without the overhead of full editing software. FastRawViewer works standalone and also integrates with Lightroom as a faster alternative culling engine.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionA native Universal Binary build of FastRawViewer has been confirmed running on Apple Silicon Macs in the Rosetta Check community. If you are still running an older Intel-only build under Rosetta, update to the latest version to gain native performance and better battery life on M-series Macs. You can download the current build directly from the LibRaw (the developer) website, which automatically serves the Universal Binary to M-series machines. Your library, culling flags, and preferences will carry over without any action needed on your part.
