Synology Image Assistant is a free macOS helper application that generates preview images and thumbnails for modern, high-efficiency photo and video formats including HEVC and HEIC. It integrates with macOS to enable quick browsing and organization of large photo and video libraries without requiring users to open full files just to preview content. The app works seamlessly in the background to improve responsiveness when working with contemporary media formats. A native Apple Silicon build has been confirmed running on Macs in the Rosetta Check community.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionSynology Image Assistant has a native Apple Silicon build available. Download the current macOS version directly from Synology's official website or SourceForge, and the installer will detect your Mac's architecture and serve the native build automatically. After installation, the helper will take effect immediately without requiring any manual reconfiguration. If you originally installed from the Mac App Store, check the App Store for an available update to the native version instead. Existing preview caches and settings carry over, so there is no data migration needed.
