Local Image File Viewer
Description from store

Ever open a file:/// image from your local file system explorer only to find that you want to view the next and previous image in the directory with ease?

Well now you can. Install the extension and visit it's options page for more details about how it works!

chrome-extension://lhlckkgdiojkapplglfeomlkjllphilo/about.html

Note - you have to manually allow access to file URLs once the extension is installed, similar to how you might allow extensions in incognito mode.

Enjoy!

Fullscreen Slideshow Steps:
1) From options set body CSS to background-color:black;
2) Consider checking the option to reduce flicker if URL bar matters not
3) On windows press F11 to enter fullscreen, on mac press Command+Shift+F

( note: version 0.19 contains a bug where the save button will seem to save formats other than PNG. It does not - all files saved with this version are PNGs. Version 0.20 will save JPGs in addition to PNGs. )

Great extension, though no longer available.

Serhii Riznychuk 2025-02-27

Easy to use, fits my needs perfectly (espectialy "image only" mode). The only one thing i would add is way to set custom keys on "next"/"prev". This kind of extension have to be integrated by default in every browser

Bro, this extension now zooms in on the image after clicking the next button. Can you fix it? Worked great earlier. Thanks!

Seems to work perfectly! Lifesaver given that most image viewers out there are full of bloat and aren't even color managed. And it gets bonus points for supporting custom formats by typing their extension in the plugin options menu.

Very nice! Does the job well, I am very satisfied with it :) Just one thing, how do you rotate the images? The rotate buttons given don't work for me. Please tell me this, then I can safely discard my desktop image app! :D

Buenísimo, un visor de imágenes locales para Chrome, por lo que permite enviar la pestaña al ChromeCast mientras sigues con otras cosas en el ordenador.

Chris Stump 2020-07-30

Love this, but I can't figure out how to configure the URL to access a folder of images on an external [USB] drive? It's my first time using file:///, and googling the syntax rules keeps sending me to Chromebook tutorials. Can you help? :)

Можно отключить эту надпись которая вылезает когда что-то работает не так? Can I disable the text? One that pop ups when switching between pictures does not work. "LOADING DIRECTORY Cancel Visit Directory" - this one. Just make a switch, that turns it off forever

Malte Laurids Brigge 2019-02-11

does what it says well, but why not Drive folders if coming from the Files App as well?
