Cobalt Photo is a new image viewer and file manager for Windows 10 and 11 that supports 49 file formats, including RAW, PSD, AVIF, and JPEG XL. The application allows users to view, organize, and manage photos without requiring additional extensions or plugins. It features a built-in file manager, support for animated formats, and tools for viewing 360-degree photos.
The software offers a Pro version available via a subscription model managed through the Microsoft Store. Pricing is set at $3.99 per month, with an annual plan that provides a discount equivalent to two months. Users can access a 14-day free trial of the Pro features immediately upon installation without needing to provide payment details.
Pro functionality includes advanced tools such as RAW processing, batch file operations, duplicate detection, and metadata editing. The application also supports command-line operations for automation, allowing users to perform tasks like format conversion and image resizing directly through the terminal without opening the graphical interface.
Cobalt Photo operates locally on the user's computer, ensuring that images are not uploaded to external servers. The software is available in 14 languages, including Russian, and is compatible with both x64 and Arm architectures. Future updates are planned to include AI-powered features and expanded search capabilities based on shooting settings.
