ToyViewer
ToyViewer is a free Mac image viewer and simple editor for opening, browsing, converting, and adjusting many common and specialty image formats.
What is ToyViewer?
ToyViewer is a native Mac image viewer and lightweight image editor for working with many still-image formats, including common formats such as JPEG, PNG, GIF, TIFF, HEIC, and WebP. It helps users quickly open images, browse folders and archives, and make everyday edits without launching a larger design app. Typical uses include viewing photos and graphics, converting files between formats, resizing or cropping images, and applying simple visual adjustments and effects. The app also supports slideshow-style viewing and can step through images stored inside folders or compressed archives, which is useful for reference images and comic-style reading. ToyViewer is published by Ogihara and is aimed at Mac users who want a fast utility for image handling rather than a full professional editing suite.

Safety overview
Status: Safe
ToyViewer is a legitimate image utility for macOS. It mainly works with image files you choose to open, so any file access is consistent with its purpose. It is not the kind of app that normally needs persistent background activity or unusual system privileges. As with any image tool, use caution when opening files from untrusted sources, especially archived or uncommon formats, and keep the app updated through its normal distribution channel if you use it regularly.
Recommendation: Keep ToyViewer if you use it to view, convert, or make quick edits to images on your Mac. If you no longer use it, removing the app is generally low risk and mainly means losing its viewing and conversion features until you reinstall it.
