Mekurio's grid view — mixed-size images arranged in an adaptive grid

Dense, beautiful grid view

Images of any aspect ratio fill the grid edge to edge, never cropped. Filter by folder, type, rating, tag, resolution, and more, and group by month or day of modification. Even folders of tens of thousands of images scroll smoothly.

Find images by what's in them, with on-device AI

Type words like "sunset over the sea" or "girl with glasses" to find images and videos with similar content in the open folder. The AI runs entirely on your PC.

Made for AI-generated images and videos

See the prompt, model, seed, sampler, and more for images made with Stable Diffusion WebUI (A1111), ComfyUI, or NovelAI, right in the details panel. Copy any field with one click, or find images by the words in their prompts. Advanced search also filters by steps, CFG scale, and seed. Generation info in MP4 videos made with ComfyUI is read too.

High-quality reader with spreads and vertical scroll

A built-in high-quality scaler automatically picks the best-looking rendering method for each zoom level. Two-page spreads and right-to-left reading for manga, seamless vertical scrolling for webtoons and PDFs. Move around comfortably with the minimap and thumbnail bar, and pick up where you left off even after closing the app. HDR and wide-gamut images display as intended on capable screens.

Synced viewer: browse the grid, view it big

Show the image you pick in the grid large in a separate window. Pick another image in the grid and the view follows, so you can browse comfortably in the at-a-glance grid while looking at each image closely. With multiple displays, use one screen for the grid and the other for viewing. On a single screen, snap the two windows side by side with Windows Snap.

Blazing fast, even past 100,000 images

A thoroughly optimized viewing engine keeps things smooth and snappy, even when you open huge numbers of images.

60+ file formats

From JPEG and PNG to JPEG XL, PSD, EXR, and RAW. ZIP / CBZ archives and PDFs open as they are, and video and audio play in the same window. The full list is in the feature list below.

* HEIC and AVIF are displayed through Windows extensions from the Microsoft Store: both need the HEIF Image Extension, plus the HEVC Video Extensions for HEIC or the AV1 Video Extension for AVIF.

Privacy comes first

Your images, and everything about how you view them — history, tags, thumbnails, metadata — are stored on your PC and never sent anywhere. Even the AI behind content search runs only on your PC. Launch in Private mode, and not even history, caches, or thumbnails are written to your PC.Privacy Policy
