Media Viewer Overview
Needlecast can display images, SVGs, and media files inline without leaving the application.
Supported Formats
Images
- JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP, TIFF, ICO

SVG Viewer
SVG files open in a vector viewer that stays crisp at any zoom level. Perfect for icons, diagrams, and vector graphics.
Zoom Controls

Auto-Reload
When an image file changes on disk, Needlecast automatically reloads it. No need to close and reopen — the viewer refreshes automatically.
