Kuadro For Mac

Kuadro is an image viewer that resides in your status bar and enables you to open as many images as you like, regardless if you store them locally or online.

For convenience, Kuadro allows the user to perform most maintenance tasks with the help of hotkeys, and you get to find the exhaustive list of supported keyboard combinations in its About panel.

Via the Kuadro status bar menu, you get to decide if you want to open locally stored images or an online resource. In the latter case, all you have to do is provide the direct URL to the image file.

The same menu enables you to either minimize or send to top all the opened images, to toggle the grayscale mode, or to lock the pictures. Moreover, Kuadro can save the current arrangement as a preset, which you can open at a later time and preserves the original layout.

Kuadro allows you to use your mouse to move around and resize the image windows, the scroll button can be used to zoom in or out, and further image management options can be accessed via the contextual menu: flip, rotate, fit, adjust opacity, duplicate, and so on.

Note that most of these tasks can also be performed via hotkeys that follow the standard pattern employed by most image viewers, so memorizing all the keyboard combinations should not take very long.

However, there are certain functions that are specific to the Kuadro app: you get to send images to front by pressing the space bar, you can save or open presets by pressing the S or O keys, or toggle the image grayscale by using the G key.

To sum up, Kuadro offers you the possibility to visualize and browse your images collections into multiple windows arranged any way you see fit.

The fact that you can save the layouts as presets, and the extensive hotkey collection, make Kuadro an alternative worth considering for your image viewing needs.
