Brings back the classic Windows Photo Viewer
Classic 7 Photo Viewer
Classic 7 Photo Viewer brings back the fast, no-nonsense Windows Photo Viewer you remember — as a proper "Open with" choice on Windows 11.
The classic viewer never left your PC; Windows just stopped letting you pick it. This free app puts it back, registering itself as a file-type handler that opens your images in the built-in Windows Photo Viewer — no registry edits, no fuss.
Simple and free
- One-click Open Image, or right-click any photo → Open with → Classic 7 Photo Viewer
- Set it as your default for any image type in Settings → Default apps
- Fast, clean, distraction-free viewing — the way it used to be
- Completely free, no ads
Opens what Windows already knows
- JPEG, PNG, GIF, BMP, TIFF, ICO
- JPEG XR (JXR, WDP, HDP)
- HEIC/HEIF, WebP, AVIF (with the matching free Store codec)
- RAW camera files (with Microsoft's free Raw Image Extension)
