FastPictureViewer - простой в использовании просмотровщик графических файлов. Основным достоинством программы является очень быстрая работа с файлами большого размера, которое заключается в том, что используется не классические методы рендеринга изображений, а считывает их с помощью графического чипа видеокарты. Программа не имеет расширенных возможностей, предлагаемых прочими приложениями (типа редактирования и конвертирования файлов), но со своей основной функцией справляется замечательно. Поддерживается просмотр отдельных файлов и целых папок, имеется набор самых простых опций. В бесплатной версии программы поддерживаются только форматы JPEG и Microsoft HD Photo (*.hdp, *.wdp).
