One library, not seven

A real photo library isn’t one format.

Twenty years of photos means twenty years of formats. Old point-and-shoot JPEGs sit beside phone HEICs, RAW captures from a proper camera, screenshots, scans and edits.

Live Gallery was built to read that library as it exists, without asking you to convert everything into one tidy format first.

RAW

RAW

Support for RAW files from major camera manufacturers, viewed and catalogued natively without a separate converter.

HEIC / HEIF

HEIC & HEIF

The format used by modern iPhones and many Android devices. View and organise HEIC photos alongside everything else.

JPEG

JPEG

The most common photo format in the world. Fully supported, from any device or camera, at any age.

PNG

PNG

Screenshots, edited images and transparent graphics, all handled natively in the same library.

WEBP

WebP

Increasingly common from modern devices and downloads, fully supported and searchable with the rest.

BMP / TIFF

BMP & TIFF

Older archives, scans and professional workflows. Both formats are readable without a conversion step.

The awkward ones

If we don’t read it yet, tell us.

A small number of niche or manufacturer-specific formats are not supported in the beta. Format support is prioritised by what beta users actually need, so a specific request is useful.

Mixed by default

One library. Every folder as it is.

You do not need to separate RAW from JPEG, or move HEIC photos into a different folder before Live Gallery will recognise them. Point it at your existing structure and everything gets catalogued together.

  • No conversion or import queue
  • RAW and JPEG side by side
  • Phone and camera files in one timeline
  • Folders stay where they are

Being upfront

Some rare formats aren’t there yet.

The beta does not read every niche format in existence. If a format matters to your library, report it through the feedback form. That is how the priority list gets built.
