For photographers
See what the camera saw.
Open a folder of RAW files, see exactly what the camera recorded, caption each photograph and present it fullscreen. Then hand the whole project to someone else as one file.
What it does
Built for showing the work, not editing it.
-
01
Reads your RAW files
NEF, CR2, CR3 and ARW, plus JPEG, TIFF and PNG. Fast previews, and the original files are never touched.
-
02
Shows the camera data
Lens, focal length, aperture, shutter, ISO — and where the camera actually focused, drawn on the frame.
-
03
Caption and review
Write the story behind each photograph. Reviewers can leave comments frame by frame.
-
04
Present fullscreen
A clean metadata overlay you control, keyboard and touch navigation, and nothing else on screen.
-
05
Share one file
Export a project as a single
.foveafile. It opens on a Mac, a Windows PC, or a phone's browser. -
06
Stays on your device
No accounts, no uploads, no analytics, no AI. Works offline once it's loaded.
Download
Free, for every screen you own.

About
Hi, I'm Utkarsh.
I write software for a living and spend my free time behind a camera. Fovea is the tool I wanted for showing those photographs properly — with the story and the camera data side by side, and without uploading anything anywhere.
It's free and open source. If it's useful to you, I'd love to hear about it.
