A local, and portable media manager for images and videos.
FeinView is a standalone desktop application for organizing your local media library. Instead of requiring you to import files into a proprietary library, FeinView works directly with your existing folders, keeping its lightweight database and thumbnails right alongside your media.
No cloud. No tracking. No subscriptions. Just your files, organized exactly how you want them.
-
🚀 100% Portable: No installation required. Database and thumbnails are stored directly inside your media folder in a hidden
.feinviewdirectory. -
📂 Smart Organization: Organize files with nested collections, custom tags, 5-star ratings, and notes.
-
🔍 Compare Mode: Compare 2–4 images side by side in real time.
-
🔐 Encrypted Vaults: Store sensitive files in hidden, password-protected vaults.
-
🗑️ Safe Deletion: Recover accidentally deleted files using the built-in trash bin.
-
🎬 Media Support: Supports common image formats and any video format supported by your operating system.

No. Vaults are encrypted locally. Your password is never stored or transmitted. If it's lost, the data inside the vault cannot be recovered.
FeinView uses your operating system's built-in media codecs for video playback. If a format isn't supported (for example, some HEVC or MKV files), the application can open it in your preferred external media player such as VLC.
Yes. Because the .feinview database is stored inside the selected folder, you can move your media library to another computer and keep all collections, tags, ratings, and metadata intact.
