Synology Image Assistant Extension
Synology Image Assistant Extension is a browser extension developed by Synology that enhances web browsing capabilities for Synology NAS users. It works alongside the Synology Image Assistant desktop app to provide image previews and compressed video generation for modern formats like HEIF/HEVC files. The extension is primarily used with Synology Photos, BeePhotos, and BeeFiles when accessing them through a web browser. It's essential for users who need to view newer image and video formats that aren't natively supported by standard web browsers when using Synology's cloud storage and photo management services.
