FloatPic is the ultra-minimalist macOS native image viewer. Borderless floating window, native gestures, blazing-fast loading, supports 30+ image formats. Make the software disappear, let images float.
Hi Product Hunt! 👋
I built FloatPic because I was tired of bulky image viewers that clutter my screen with borders and windows. As a creator/developer, I just wanted my reference images to "float" cleanly on top of my workspace without getting in the way.
FloatPic is designed to disappear. It’s an ultra-minimalist, macOS-native image viewer that supports over 30+ formats, responds to native gestures instantly, and runs blazing fast.
I’d love to hear your thoughts! What features would make your workflow even smoother? Thank you for the support! 🚀

The borderless, floating approach is interesting for reference work, where you want an image pinned on screen while you work in something else without it fighting for visual space. Curious whether it respects macOS Spaces or stays on all desktops, and whether you can pin multiple images at once without them stacking awkwardly. That second part is usually where "minimal" viewers quietly fall apart.

Great observations — those are exactly the edge cases we focused on.
Spaces: FloatPic panels use canJoinAllSpaces, so each floating image appears on every desktop/Space automatically. Combined with the optional floating-on-top level (togglable in Settings), the image genuinely stays pinned above your work regardless of which Space you're on.
Multiple images: Currently FloatPic uses a single-panel approach — opening a new image replaces the one in the existing floating window, and you navigate between images in the same directory with swipe or arrow keys. This was an intentional tradeoff: for the "pinned reference image" workflow, one clean floating frame is usually what you actually want. That said, we're actively considering multi-panel support for scenarios where you need two images visible side-by-side (and the compare mode already handles that for images in the same folder).
Fair point on where minimal viewers fall apart — we'd rather do one window really well than half-support a feature that creates the stacking chaos you described. Appreciate the thoughtful feedback!
