is a
Shareware Image Viewer software for
Windows developed by
ACD Systems . The current version (
As Of September 2005 ) is 8. Besides the usual
Thumbnail viewing of folders and file type conversion, key features of ACDSee include
Slideshow presentations,
CD /
DVD burning,
HTML gallery creation, image folder syncing and editing/indexing of image metadata like
Exif . It is also possible to do minor image manipulation like cropping, scaling and rotating. The price for a full license of ACDSee 8 is
US$ 50.
So far, ACDSee has no
Unicode support. For example filenames containing Asian characters may not display correctly.
ACDSee included one of the first
JPEG decoders widely available, and was in fact bundled with the early web browser ''
Mosaic '' for this purpose. Version 7 of ACDSee attracted criticism when its
EULA was found to include a section that prohibited viewing
Pornographic Pictures with it.
