SEE AND HEAR LOCAL FILES

Image, video and audio viewers

This category covers still images, camera originals, audio and video. Support depends on both the container and the codec inside it, so each format page states the combinations Anyfile actually handles.

Typical uses

— Check an image without sending it to a cloud service
— Play supported audio and video from local storage
— Inspect camera originals and less common raster formats

Common reasons files do not open

— A recognized video container can contain an unsupported codec
— RAW rendering varies by camera model and embedded preview
— Very large images can exceed browser memory or canvas limits

Category FAQ

Does every browser support the same media formats?

No. Native codecs and WebCodecs support vary by browser and operating system; each format page calls out important requirements.
