shuttlecar is a fast, native image viewer for photographers who care about their files.
BROWSE
Open any folder of images and move through them with your keyboard. Smooth zoom, pan, and adjustable slideshow. 50+ formats including JPEG, TIFF, HEIC, WebP, and all major RAW formats from Canon, Nikon, Sony, Fujifilm, and more.
READ YOUR DATA
Open the info panel to see everything your camera recorded — make, model, lens, shutter speed, aperture, ISO, focal length, flash, white balance, and GPS coordinates with automatic reverse geocoding to place names.
WRITE YOUR DATA
Embed your authorship directly into image files. The info panel lets you write:
· Copyright
· Artist
· Description
· Comment
· Keywords (IPTC)
· Headline
· Source
· Credit Line
· City, State, Country
Apply changes to one image or batch-write across your entire collection. Supports JPEG, TIFF, DNG, and HEIC. Your metadata is written using atomic file replacement — originals are never corrupted.
EXPORT WITH CONTROL
Export to JPEG, PNG, TIFF, GIF, or keep the original format. When sharing, choose exactly what metadata travels with your images:
· Keep everything
· Strip all metadata for privacy
· Strip camera data and GPS, but preserve your authored fields
Your copyright survives even when the tracking doesn't.
TAG AND FILTER
Create custom tags with one-key hotkeys. Filter your library by tag, camera, lens, or any EXIF value. Tags are stored in sidecar files alongside your images — your originals are never touched unless you ask.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Everything runs on your Mac. No cloud sync, no analytics, no account required. Your images never leave your machine.
Requires macOS 13 Ventura or later.
