HEIC / HEIF photo viewer

HEIC and HEIF photo viewing for Windows.

Open HEIC / HEIF images inside the same native Windows browsing workflow you use for JPEG, RAW, AVIF, JPEG XL and other supported formats.

Get N1 on Microsoft Store

Browse HEIC photos in normal folders

N1 treats supported HEIC / HEIF files as part of the same local folder workflow as other images. Move through them with the keyboard, Filmstrip or Gallery rather than switching to a separate utility just for iPhone-style image files.

Mix HEIC with other image formats

Real folders are often mixed: HEIC next to JPEG, PNG, RAW, WebP, AVIF or TIFF. N1 keeps those files together in one viewer, with Explorer order, search, filtering, multi-select and comparison.

Compare and cull HEIC files

Use quick 2-image comparison in the main viewer or 2- and 4-image comparison in Gallery. Ratings, Pick / Reject, labels and auto-advance help when HEIC files are part of a larger review set.

Color-managed viewing

HEIC / HEIF images participate in N1's color-managed SDR, wide-gamut and supported HDR presentation paths where the Windows decode path and image metadata provide the required information.
