How to View and Edit RAW and HEIC Photos on a Mac Without Importing
The folder on your disk is the library. Pixer opens RAW from major cameras, HEIC, AVIF, WebP, TIFF and more, and keeps adjustments in a sidecar so originals are untouched until you choose File > Save.
Open
Point Pixer at a folder. Arrow through the shoot at full resolution in grid, single or filmstrip view.
Check
The EXIF panel and histogram are free. Marquee-select in the grid and ⌘C / ⌘V to copy photos.
Edit
Adjustments exist as a sidecar .pixer folder beside the image. The original isn’t rewritten.
Formats
JPEG, PNG, HEIC, HEIF, AVIF, WebP, TIFF, GIF, BMP, PSD and RAW.
